Written answers

Minister for Social and Family Affairs (Mr. Brennan)

The issue of fees charged for the National Car Test and any special arrangements in relation to them would be a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Transport. There are, to my knowledge, no plans at present for arrangements on the lines proposed.
