Under the Road Traffic Act 1961 and the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 1999, it is a matter for the appropriate licensing authority, in this case Kildare County Council and not the Department of Transport, to determine the eligibility of a person for a driving licence and to issue licences.

Question 219: To ask the Minister for Transport the number of driving licence applications that are being declared false on renewal and that were issued in the period September to December 1994; if he is investigating the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4146/05]

Under the Road Traffic Act 1961 and the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 1999, it is a matter for the appropriate licensing authority and not the Department of Transport to determine the eligibility of a person for a driving licence, including renewal of a licence, and to issue licences. I am not aware of any general problem regarding the renewal of licences which were issued between September and December 1994.
