I propose to take Questions Nos. 186 and 187 together.

The operation of the driver licensing service, including the application of fitness to drive criteria, is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority.  I have therefore forwarded this question to the Authority for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
