Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion
Mr. Brendan Walsh:
As part of our recent recruitment process, we added two additional permanent testers to cover County Clare. Those appointments are replacing temporary testers who left a couple of months ago. We have put three testers back into the county. We are working with the Department of Transport on a sanction to increase further the number of testers available across the country. As part of that, there will be a focus on specific needs in specific areas in which there are very long waiting times. I understand the waiting time in Kilrush is 35 weeks at the moment.
