545. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the cost to the Road Safety Authority, RSA, of using an external provider to carry out the task of manually inputting the data received from the Courts Service on court disqualifications by year to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51708/19]

This is a matter for the Road Safety Authority. I have referred the question to the Road Safety Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.
