Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 June 2021
74. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Transport if he will ensure that applicants for driver theory tests who had applied in 2020 do not have their appointments delayed due to more recent applicants getting priority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35368/21]
View answerThe driver theory test is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority. Currently, theory tests have resumed up to a maximum of 25,000 monthly.
The protocol for scheduling appointments is an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority, and one in which I have no role.
This question is therefore being referred to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
