Question:

213 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for Transport if he intends to centralise plans for the testing of drivers for the Leinster area for driving licences for heavy goods vehicles at the Jamestown Road, Finglas test centre; if so, if he has taken into account the already unacceptably high volumes of such traffic in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

A range of options in relation to off road driving test centres are currently under consideration in my Department in consultation with the Office of Public Works. While no final decisions have been made, it is anticipated that there will be a number of centres to test heavy goods vehicles located in the Leinster area.
