Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The operation of the National Car Testing Service (NCT), including the provision of new test centres, is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's query to the Authority for direct reply and any further update since their last response to the Deputy in February 2024. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51.
