The Minister announced he would get provisional driving licence holders off the road. It was a fantastic announcement. However, he provided no extra resources to Ballina, where licences are processed, and the result is chaos. In my constituency of Carlow there is now a ten month waiting list for a driving test. It is worse in other parts of the country. There is also the crazy scenario of huge variations in the driving test pass rates around the country. The first time application pass rate in Athlone is 43% while in Shannon, County Clare, the pass rate is almost 70%. Something must be done in this regard. Why is there such a huge variation in the pass rate and in the waiting times for tests?
