I propose to take Questions Nos. 815 and 816 together.

The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government holds and administers the national driver file that contains driving licence records. My Department is in consultation with that Department with a view to having the necessary arrangements for the issue of driving licence renewal notices from the national driver file put in place.
