Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2021
277. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Transport if he will allow students on courses related to essential and front-line work sit driver theory tests in order to be able to attend their future college placements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14224/21]
View answerThe Driver Theory Test has not been deemed by Government to be an essential service under Covid-19 level 5 restrictions, and as a result the service is closed while these restrictions remain in place. As a consequence, the service is closed while level 5 restrictions remain in place. Updates around the resumption of tests will be published on www.theorytest.ie as restrictions gradually ease over the coming months. No exceptions can be made to the restrictions in place by either myself or the Road Safety Authority.
