We will check it. My Department is not aware of that point so we will check it and get back to the Deputy on it.

The Deputy has raised the testing issues with me before in the Dáil during the debate on the Road Traffic Bill 2015 and I know it is a matter of concern to him. It is a matter that causes difficulty to people but all I can say is that anything we do is done with the objective of driver safety and the safety of other road users. That being said, we always keep measures under review to see if they are proportionate and operating the way in which we intended. I believe the current system is proportionate but it is a matter we keep under review because the aim is to be effective in making roads safer for everybody.
