Ceist:

564. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on whether the NCT fee of €28 is reasonable for a visual inspection in respect of a headlight which is carried out on the same day as the actual NCT; the reason for this fee; if he will review this fee structure; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The operation of the National Car Test is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in individual cases.  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.
