I will give Mr. Naughton an example. One person who contacted me lives in Cork city and had booked a driver theory test for 27 July 2020. The earliest appointment available to him was 31 January in Ennis or 16 February in 2021 in Cork. These dates were cancelled due to level 5 restrictions and he has now been given a new date of 2 June 2021.

My driving licence expired in the middle of last summer. I thank the NDLS staff in Cork who were very efficient, courteous and professional. While in the queue, I watched how they dealt with people and I want to give them credit for the way they handled the system. I thank them for that.
