As Minister of State for International and Road Transport, Logistics, Rail and Ports, I wish to advise that the information requested is held by the Road Safety Authority, which has statutory responsibility for the issuing of driver licences.

Accordingly, I have referred this matter 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.
