Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2023
145. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Transport if consideration will be given to the addition of a cancellation list for driving test appointments at test centres nationally to facilitate those who urgently require a driving test appointment in view of the current five-month waiting time for a test; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerUnder the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. Consequently, neither I nor my Department have powers to intervene in aspects of service delivery, including scheduling matters.
I have referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for consideration and direct response on the specific issues raised. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
