Drogheda is Ireland's largest town that is yet to become a city. We do not have a driving test centre. We had a temporary driving test centre for a couple of years, located in a local football club. The RSA decided it would not renew that contract this time two years ago, leaving Drogheda without any form of driving test centre. What did it do? It blamed the local residents when an arrangement was to be made with all of the stakeholders to seek to extend that temporary accommodation to allow for the identification of a site for a permanent test centre in the area. You could not make it up. The RSA is effectively trolling my hometown. A young holder of a provisional driving licence living in the Drogheda area will be waiting eight months for a test in Navan and five for a test in Dundalk. The RSA since then has done absolutely nothing to identify a site for a permanent driving test centre in Ireland's largest town of Drogheda. The RSA is not being held to account. It is an organisation that feels it is accountable to nobody. The Minister of State has a job to make sure that changes and to ensure that the RSA does what it promised me, other Deputies and the people of Drogheda a long time ago, that it would develop a permanent driving test centre for Ireland's largest town.
