Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The subject matter of this question, which is the operation of the driver testing service, is a matter for the Road Safety Authority, and I have referred the matter to the Authority for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
