The Road Safety Strategy 2007 – 2012 outlines a range of measures to be considered in relation to a Graduated Driver Licensing System (GDLS). The Road Safety Authority (RSA) undertook a consultation process on a GDLS in 2009, which contained a number of possible measures. The RSA has considered the responses from the public and interested bodies and has recently submitted its recommendations to my Department. Those recommendations are being considered carefully within my Department at present.
