Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has responsibility for delivering the National Car Test.

Therefore I have forwarded the Deputy’s question to the RSA for direct reply.

I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
