Committee on Transport
Driving Test and NCT Delays: RSA
2:00 am
Mr. Brendan Walsh:
We have dropped the waiting time from 27 weeks. As of last week, it was 19.7 weeks so the period has dropped below 20 weeks. We are also continuing to offer additional overtime. Over the weekend of the last bank holiday, our staff worked overtime and delivered over 1,000 tests and 700 of those tests were delivered on the bank holiday Monday. We have opened up testing slots for the bank holiday Monday in August. We are continuing to work Saturdays. Across the country, we have also commenced working from 7.25 a.m. until 7 p.m., where allowable. So we have significantly increased capacity.
