Written answers

The scheduling of candidates’ driving tests is the responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and as Minister, I have no power to intervene in individual cases.

During the Level 5 period, driving tests will be available only to those who are involved in essential services, including essential retail work. The Road Safety Authority has set up a dedicated email, urgentdrivingtest@rsa.ie, where applicants can request to be given priority and supply supporting documentation.  These requests are prioritised during the scheduling process with cancellation slots being offered where possible.
