Question:

659. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason a person (details supplied) was charged €28 for the NCT lift test in view of the fact it could not be taken originally due to faulty NCT equipment and having passed the rest of the NCT they could not rebook the test within 30 days of the original test due to Covid-19 lockdown measures; the steps he will take to rectify the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The operation of the National Car Test (NCT) service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in individual cases.  I have therefore referred the question 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

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51.
