337. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of PPS numbers lost or misplaced by the National Driver Licence Service over the past 20 years; the measures in place to address such administrative errors, which cause significant stress, inconvenience and expense to licence holders; and the immediate steps that will be taken to resolve a current case raised by this Deputy (details supplied).

As Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports, I wish to advise that the Road Safety Authority, which has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Licence Service holds data relating to licence applications and renewals. Therefore I have referred this matter to the Authority for direct reply.

My Department does not have access to individual driving licence applications and may not intervene in that process. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
