Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Deputy Jack Chambers)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 223, 231 and 232 together.

The operation of the National Car Testing Service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the Deputies' queries 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.

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