Driver Licences
Dail Éireann — 2024-03-21
============================================================

Martin Kenny (SF), Sligo-Leitrim

I want to ask about category W licences, about which there was some controversy in the past month or so. These are licences for work vehicles including tractors, agricultural vehicles and vehicles used in forestry. The licensing authority stated recently that these licences could no longer be used on building sites or other environments where they are widely used. This issue must be dealt with immediately. The Government has said it will be another six months before it is dealt with but we need to get clarity in respect of it now.
