Ruairí Ó Murchú

Question:

209. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Transport the number of driving tests cancelled by the Road Safety Authority in all test centres in each of the months June to December 2022, in tabular form; the reason for the test cancellations by the RSA; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2887/23]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the operation of the national driving test. Consequently, the Authority deals with all application and scheduling matters. My department does not have access to the information requested.

I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51.
