Minister of State at the Department of Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 527, 552, 594 to 596, inclusive, and 680 together.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service, including all testing and scheduling matters. Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputies' questions to the RSA for direct response. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within ten days.

Pending this response, I wish to advise the Deputies that the statistics for the driving test waiting times, per centre and category are also made available on the CSO website on a monthly basis at the following link: data.cso.ie/product/rsadts
