Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Shane Ross)

The operation of the driver testing service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority.  I have therefore referred the 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.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.

Question No. 261 answered with Question No. 258.
