No, but I worked in administering those tests. They have a role, not as a gateway perhaps, but to direct people into specific areas after they have attested, and to discover certain skills and abilities they might have. I agree with Deputy Crowe that they currently seem to be a barrier for many people. Even when they look at the test online, they give up and do not even try. I challenged the Tánaiste to try the test to see how he gets on.
