Question 253: To ask the Minister for Transport if, regarding driving licences, he has proposals to introduce restricted driving licences, which would be restricted in terms of speed and no alcohol consumption; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30393/06]

I have no plans to introduce restricted driving licences, which would be restricted in terms of speed and no alcohol consumption. Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, it is open to the Road Safety Authority to make recommendations in relation to the promotion of better driving standards and to draw up road safety programmes. Should the RSA make such a recommendation which was shown to have road safety benefits consideration would be given to it in the context of an overall road safety strategy.
