​The operation of the National Driver Licensing Service (NDLS), including the location of front offices, is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in operational matters such as the location of NDLS offices.  I have therefore referred the 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.
