Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the delivery of driver testing is a matter for the Road Safety Authority. Decisions taken in relation to the provision of driver testing facilities are operational matters for the Authority and queries in relation to such matters should be raised directly with that statutory body.
