Questions (1917)

John Paul Phelan

Question:

1917. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport the arrangements in place or planned to ensure that the same standards are implemented by driver testers across the country to ensure that the large differences in test outcomes throughout the country do not continue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38367/12]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Responsibility for the operation of the driver testing service is a matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA).  I have therefore referred the question to the RSA for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
