133. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 69 of 16 December 2020, if a driver test will be expedited in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4010/21]
View answerAll enquires relating to scheduling driving tests are handled by the Road Safety Authority (RSA)- who have statutory responsibility for the operation of the test. My Department does not have access to individual applications nor have I any power to intervene or expediate individual cases.
The Road Safety Authority has advised it is prioritising driver testing for essential workers and has set up a dedicated webform for same. Anyone looking for an urgent driving test appointment and falls into this category can apply to book a driving test at www.myroadsafety.ie If there is no available slot and they have made an application, they can ask to be prioritised by accessing https://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Learner-Drivers/The-Driving-Test/Request-an-urgent-driving-test/ and providing the relevant details
