Question 420: To ask the Minister for Transport further to his reply to the Adjournment Debate of 23 June 2005 regarding the driver testing centre in Finglas, Dublin 11, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is a HGV ban on all of the roads surrounding this test centre; that the proposed truck testing will not involve any driving on local roads; if he will reconsider this location in view of the highly residential nature of this area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Driving tests for the full range of vehicles are carried out in the Finglas driving test centre, which is located in an industrial estate. While I am aware of the three tonne restriction on HGVs on certain roads near the centre I am informed by Dublin City Council that there is not a currently general ban on HGVs in the area.
