As Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports, I wish to advise that the driver licensing exchange process is handled by the National Driver Licence Service, the provision of which I have delegated under national legislation to the Road Safety Authority.
As part of the standard governance processes for State agencies under my Department, officials from the Department meet with senior management from the Authority on a quarterly basis to discuss a range of issues. This includes operational performance and potential areas of concern.
The final quarterly governance meeting for the RSA will take place in the coming weeks and I will request that my officials seek an analysis from the RSA regarding the licence exchange process.
