Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

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 response.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.

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