244. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Transport to report on the printer failure affecting the NDLS; the number of applicants affected; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54337/26]

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Licence Service.

I have therefore referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
