Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 79 and 80 together.
The operation of the national driving test service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, this includes the scheduling of driving tests. Neither I, nor my Department, have any involvement in the scheduling of individual driving test applications. Therefore, I have 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.
