Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 196, 197 and 198 together.
Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the Driver Theory Test and The National Driver Tester service, including all scheduling matters. Neither I nor my officials are involved in the service at an operational level. As such, the information requested is held by the Authority.
Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for direct, detailed response. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within ten days.
Pending this detailed response, the Deputy may wish to note that statistics for the National Driver Testing Service, by county and/or test centre, are made available on the CSO website on a monthly basis and can be accessed via the following link: https://data.cso.ie/product/rsadts.
