There are no plans to close either the driving test centre in Tuam or any other driving test centre. The operation of all driving test centres is, however, kept under review to ensure that they meet the requirements of the driver testing service.

The recent reduction in the number of tests carried out in Tuam test centre was due to leave arrangements and training courses for testers serving that test centre.
