Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service, this includes all application and scheduling matters and neither I nor my department have the power to intervene in individual cases.
Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct reply. Please contact my private office if a response is not received within ten days.
Pending this response, the Deputy may wish to note that a change was made to the online booking system for the National Car Test in October 2023. Unused test slots are now made available for candidates to take up at short notice. If a driving test is cancelled at short notice, the RSA now make this appointment available on the [MyRoadSafety (rsa.ie)] portal.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51.
