Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
332. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport if there are plans to make the driver theory test available to take online which would allow the applicants to go ahead and take their test and reduce the backlog; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18806/21]
View answerThe RSA is working to deliver an online driver theory test service. It was trialled in December on a pilot basis for those taking a theory test for trucks and buses. The pilot is now being evaluated and the RSA is committed to extending the service for all theory test types during 2021. There will be a limit on the number of customers that can avail of the service during the initial rollout phase, but the objective is that it should be an option for all theory test customers during later phases of the rollout.
