The scheduling of candidates’ driving tests is the responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and as Minister, I have no power to intervene in individual cases.
The Road Safety Authority has advised during Level 5 it is prioritising driver testing for essential workers and it has set up a dedicated email, urgentdrivingtest@rsa.ie, where applicants can request to be given priority and supply supporting documentation. Details on what is included in the list of essential workers and retail outlets is availalbe on www.gov.ie.. These requests will be prioritised during the scheduling process with cancellation slots being offered where possible.
