Buses, including school buses, are liable to roadworthiness testing when they are one year old and every year thereafter. The items to be tested, the method of testing and reasons for failure of the test are currently set out in the vehicle testers' manual for heavy commercial vehicles, which was published by my Department in 2004. The manual is available on the Department's website at www.transport.ie.
