Minister of State at the Department of Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 307 and 308 together.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. This includes all application and scheduling matters. As such, the information requested relating to no shows for the driving test is held by the Authority.

Pending this response, the Deputy may wish to note that the RSA publish detailed monthly information on the driver testing service on the CSO website, including the breakdown of no shows. This information is available at the following link: data.cso.ie/table/ROA31

Question No. 308 answered with Question No. 307.
