175. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Transport if additional supports are available for a person (details supplied) for their driver theory test as they require reading assistance; if so, how they can apply for these; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31716/23]
View answerThe Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the operation of the National Driving Test service, this includes the format and operation of the Theory Test. Neither I, nor my Department have the power to intervene in individual applications.
The Authority offers a number of options for people who require special assistance with completing their theory test. These options can be accessed via the Authority's website at www.rsa.ie and inputting Theory Test Assistance into the search bar. This service needs to be requested and booked in advance by phoning 0818 606 106, or selecting the relevant box on the application form under Support Request.
