Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 June 2026
41. Deputy Pádraig Rice asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 489 of 29 April 2025, the procedural steps and milestones required for Ireland to finalize such an agreement with Turkey; the current internal status of this review; if any formal communication has taken place in relation to this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44429/26]
View answerAs Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports, I wish to advise that Ireland does not have a licence exchange agreement with Turkey. The Government's current priority in these matters is, in line with Programme for Government commitments on returning emigrants, to consider further licence exchange agreements with Canada and certain US states. There are no plans to explore a licence exchange agreement with Turkey at present.
