Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Impact of Covid-19 on Driving Instructors: Unite the Union

Mr. Dominic Brophy:

I would not call them protests but the answer to the Deputy's question is "Yes". What we were doing, and we have ceased doing it since we moved to level 5 restrictions, was that we would protest outside the Finglas test centre - probably just four or five of us, because we were very aware of social distancing. It was not an official protest and it would last for one hour on a Friday morning. I would point out that we did not stop anybody from entering test centres or coming out of test centres, and we did not influence anybody. We would basically stand there for one hour in protest, initially because of the facilities issues and the way we were being treated.
