Mr. Declan Naughton:

The first question related to access to driver test centres. We acknowledge this has been a contentious issue. We also acknowledge that driver instructors have a major role to play in the whole learning-to-drive process. We have acknowledged that publicly. However, in terms of the protocols we have in place to prevent spread of the virus, we have strong rules around who can access the driver test centre. We have conducted more than 90,000 tests since last June or July, when we returned, without any notified cases of virus transmission. We strongly believe that those rules must remain in place while the pandemic is with us. We would be delighted to welcome back ADIs when the conditions allow and when we get support from public health to say that is feasible. However, right now it is not feasible and I believe that to do so would put our ability to continue to deliver driver tests at risk. A whole architecture is necessary in respect of driver instructors but we do not have that in place. We do not foresee that happening until the pandemic is no longer a factor. I will ask Mr. Rowland to deal with the question of the renewal of the ADI permit.
