​This is a matter for the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.

​I am pleased to inform you that agreement has been reached with Newfoundland and Labrador on mutual exchange of driving licences. I understand that the necessary order to give legal effect to the agreement in Ireland is being finalised and I expect to sign this order shortly. This will be the third such agreement with a Canadian province, following those with Ontario and Manitoba.
