Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
240. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Transport if an exception can be made for a person (details supplied) who has a driving test coming up but cannot get an NCT appointment which means that she cannot use her own car for the test. [16432/23]
View answerThe operation of the National Driving Test service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA). Neither I nor my Department have the power to intervene in individual cases.
However I am informed that customers who have a driving test booked and are unable to get an appointment at their chosen NCT centre beforehand, can call the NCT on 01 4135992 to apply for a prioritised appointment.
