Question 161: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will carry out an analysis of the vehicle testing centre in County Wexford to determine if there is a need for another centre in the New Ross area in view of the number of hauliers in the area and the high number of heavy goods vehicles and trailers in the county; the position regarding the PriceWaterhouse Coopers report relative to applications for new test centres; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The relevant local authority has responsibility for matters relating to the approval of commercial vehicle testing centres. I have approved, in full, proposals from the RSA to reform the commercial vehicle roadworthiness system based on the findings of the Price Waterhouse Coopers report. The phasing and means of resourcing implementation of the reform plan is under consideration in light of current constrained Exchequer circumstances.
