253. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on a driving test for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48193/23]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for all aspects of driver testing. This includes test applications and scheduling matters. Neither I nor my Department hold information on, or have the have the power to intervene in, individual cases.I have therefore referred the Deputy's question 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
