Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
91. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on progress on the long-awaited driving test centre for Drogheda; what sites have been considered or investigated; the expected timelines for the opening of the centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5581/24]
View answerUnder the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. This includes the locations and operation of driving test centres.
I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.
Pending this more detailed response, I am informed that the RSA are continuing to work with the Office of Public Works on finding a suitable test centre site for Drogheda but have been unsuccessful to date.
