145 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 38 of 28 September 2006, the reason he has not provided a demand forecast for driving tests for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008; if same exists; and if it does will he provide the information requested. [31413/06]

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority has responsibility for the delivery of the driving test and the issuing of certificates of competency. As I indicated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 38 of 28 September 2006 the Road Safety Authority will be preparing demand forecasts into the future.
