This is a day-to-day operational matter for FÁS. I understand from FÁS that the individual in question attended a FÁS Articulated Driving Course with North West Training in Bray, Co. Wicklow, from the 21st November 2011 to 13th January 2012. I understand that he then undertook his driving test on 18th January, 2012, but regrettably failed the test on that occasion.

FÁS inform me that according to their records, the individual in question has not applied to repeat this test. Should he wish to repeat the test, FÁS will facilitate him by offering to provide two driving lessons and the driving test. He can do this by contacting the FÁS Wexford Office (Tel: 053 9143602). This contact should be made without delay to facilitate the lessons. I am unsure what the "five certificates" mentioned in the attached correspondence refer to. Should the Deputy wish to forward me further detail I will have it investigated and get back to him directly.
