Mr. Brendan Walsh:

I can tell the Deputy that where we see an anomaly, we carry out a review with the local supervisors. We assess those individual testers to see if there is anything that is maybe outside of the norms, and where anything would be a problem, we address it and train it. However, we also need to be mindful that, in some instances, there may be individuals who are presenting for a test who realistically are not ready. That could be driven by the fact they are trying to rush through the process rather than taking their time. We like to see a minimum of six months from when a person enters that learner to licence cycle to when he or she goes for the test. We will not accept a person for a test. We believe people need to practise and train.
