Question 248: To ask the Minister for Transport his views on amending Regulation 3 of the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 2006 to allow a person whose name is entered on the register of the Royal College of General Practitioners to qualify as a registered medical practitioner for the purposes of Regulation 41(i)(f)(ii), in order that a Border resident's Six County general practitioner may submit the required medical report on their behalf.

I have no proposals in this regard, to amend the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 2006.

I understand that a person who is registered as a medical practitioner in the UK is eligible to apply for inclusion in the register of Medical Practitioners maintained by the Medical Registration Council of Ireland. This procedure for registration also applies to Irish medical practitioners.
