Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I am concerned to ensure that the driving test backlog is cleared. Where jobs might be at stake, especially for young people, it is important for them to be able to take their driving tests as quickly and efficiently as possible. The additional checks are good for safety and are helpful in engendering an understanding of vehicles but they will not necessarily slow down the testing process. Driver testing legislation is going through the House which will bring about positive changes for those seeking tests in future.
