To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will give a commitment on the duration for an application to the National Driver Licence Service for a driving licence to be processed from the first point of contact a person has with their local authority to when they receive their new driving licence; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The operation of the Driver Licensing system is a matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA), which became the national driver licensing authority as of 12 January 2013.  The details of the process are therefore a matter for the RSA and I have passed the Deputy's query to the authority for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
