Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Pre-legislative Scrutiny of Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019

Mr. Declan Naughton:

At the moment we have 138 driver testers and we expect to have an additional 40 on the field by the end of June. To get down to ten weeks, we expect we will need 40 extra driver testers and we would achieve that by February 2022. The caveat is that we are currently delivering six driver tests a day. We had expected to be at seven at this point but due to the pandemic we are not. The question is around how quickly we get to seven or eight tests a day.

The short answer is that we would need 40 additional driver testers to get to ten weeks by February 2022.
