View answerThe safety of the public is of paramount importance at this time and as in all aspects of the Covid-19 crisis my Department continues to be guided by National Public Health Emergency Team and the relevant national experts in relation to the resumption of services.
My officials and the Road Safety Authority are currently examining the possibility of resuming the National Car Test roadworthiness testing services in light of the roadmap and national return to work protocols published by Government.
Dates for the resumption of services and any sepecific arrangements that need to be put in place to allow for the provision of these services will be determined in consultation with the relevant health authorities.
I hope to make a statement in the coming weeks on this matter.
