Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 February 2025
24. Deputy Joanna Byrne asked the Minister for Transport to provide an urgent update on the provision of a permanent driving test centre in Drogheda, County Louth; the communication that has taken place between his Department and the RSA over the past 12 months regarding this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3652/25]
View answerUnder the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the Driver Testing Service including the provision of test centres and their locations. As such, I have referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct, detailed reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
Pending this full response, I am informed that the RSA are continuing to work with the Office of Public Works on finding a suitable test centre site for Drogheda but have been unsuccessful to date.
