Question:

319. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the delays to get a NCT booking given that currently there are no available dates until November 2022 with the NCT centre on Fonthill Road, Clondalkin. [30508/22]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The Road Safety Authority has statutory responsibility for the operation of the NCT. My department is aware of the challenges facing the National Car Testing Service and the Road Safety Authority as they work to manage the current high demand for test appointments.

In relation to test availability at the test centre referred to in the Deputy’s question, I have referred this question to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
