It is especially so in a rural area like mine.

I turn next to the waiting times we get from the NCT press office. It was claimed - this was referenced in the opening statement as well - the waiting time to do an NCT was going to be 14 days. I tried it myself on the NCT website on Sunday. I looked for a test in Sligo and Ballina. The next available date in Ballina was 19 August, which is 72 days away, and it was 87 days in Carrick-on-Shannon. That is a far cry from 14 days.
