792. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 614 of 21 February 2017, and in view of the fact that the licence exchange agreement is already fully in place in British Columbia as it has accepted Irish licences since early 2016, the reason a timeframe for an agreement from the Irish side in regard to accepting British Columbian licences, which is affecting Canadians' ability to drive here, cannot be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

​Further to my response to PQ number 614 of 21 February 2017, an agreement with British Columbia is not yet in place.  Until such an agreement is in place it is not possible for Ireland to commence the licence exchange agreement with that Canadian province.  I cannot speak for the British Columbian authorities and their acceptance or not of Irish driving licences for exchange.
