Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2025
116. Deputy James O'Connor asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 181 of 18 September 2025, if there are any further plans to open a driving test centre in the rest of Munster; the waiting times for a driving test for the rest of Munster; how this statistic compares to the rest of the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53701/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder 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, testing and scheduling matters.
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.
The Deputy may also wish to note that the RSA publish detailed monthly information on the driver testing service on the CSO website, including the breakdown of waiting times by county and distribution of testing capacity by test centre.
