601. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when the agreement on the mutual recognition of driving licenses between Ireland and Ontario will become operational; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39981/14]

The agreement between Ireland and Ontario on mutual recognition of driving licences is a reciprocal arrangement. The agreement has been signed by both parties and will come into force as soon as the necessary legal and administrative preparations have been completed in both jurisdictions.

Ireland is ready to implement the agreement and I understand that the authorities in Ontario will be ready to implement it in the very near future.
