Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Commissioners of Public Works are working with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) on their driver testing strategic plan 2016-2020. While a potential site in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown was identified in early 2016, it did not meet the RSA requirements. The Commissioners continue to liaise with the RSA with a view to securing a suitable site that meets all their requirements.
