There must be reform of the driving test system and driving instructor techniques. I have received numerous representations from people who have had to wait up to ten months for a driving test, a process that the Minister of State should speed up.

Fine Gael calls on the Government to produce a White Paper on aviation policy.

I ask the Minister of State to support me in that request.
