View answer198. Deputy Shane Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport the planned capacity of the new driving test centre in South Dublin, including the number of testers to be assigned and the volume of driving tests it is expected to facilitate on a weekly basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 197 and 198 together.
Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. This includes the provision of test centres, and I understand that a site had been identified in the Sandyford area which the RSA aims to be open and operational this month.
Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct, detailed response. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within ten days.
