Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Walsh:

The national pass rate for 2022 was 48%. That is a little lower than the relevant figure in 2021, which was 50%. I do not have to hand the individual pass rates at a county level. I can take that issue away and look into it. I can defend the integrity of the service and those who operate within it. Those workers are held to an extraordinarily high standard and I would never expect to see one tester failing more people than another because they are managed on tight criteria. They are also continually assessed by their supervisors.
