Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

I refer the Deputy to Question No. 121, which was answered on 16 June 2005. A potentially suitable site for a new Killarney driving test centre has been identified for which negotiations are ongoing between the OPW and the owner. In the meantime, driver testing will resume on Monday, 11 July 2005 and will be conducted from the Quality Inn, Killarney.
