Questions (344)

Brendan Howlin

Question:

344. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that applicants who have being given a date for their driver theory test and who have had them cancelled due to the level 5 restrictions are now being given replacement dates well into the new year; his views on whether it would be fairer to simply push all applications back for the duration of the level 5 restrictions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport

The protocol for scheduling appointments is an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority, and one in which I have no role.

I am therefore passing the Deputy's question to the Road Safety Authority for direct reply. If a reply has not been received within 10 working days, the Deputy should contact my office.

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