Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with Road Safety Authority
Mr. Brendan Walsh:
If we exclude those individuals, we have 552 active testers. We are now adding the 22 and we will add the 44 before the end of the year. We will still require more testers because there will be natural attrition given these mechanics have the opportunity to work in other areas if they so desire and there is natural attrition when there is such a high number of individuals. Based on our figures for this year, I would say we need about 115 vehicle testers, and that is akin to the numbers we had before the pandemic.
