Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Car Testing: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Walsh:

First, it approved a sanction to increase our number of permanent testers from 100 to 130. An open competition was run and those 30 permanent testers were brought into the service. What we have seen over the past six quarters is an extraordinary level of demand. We went back to the Department of Transport. We had a very robust discussion. We had some great support from the Department and the Minister. They have agreed to grant us a sanction for up to 75 further testers to allow us to deal with this backlog we have.
