The Office of Public Works, in consultation with my Department, is in the process of providing off road testing facilities for the testing of drivers of heavy goods vehicles. Such facilities have been provided in Sligo, Limerick and Dundalk. It is intended, subject to availability of suitable sites, to provide similar facilities at the test centres that currently test drivers of articulated vehicles.
