The Road Safety Authority has statutory responsibility for the NCT.

However I understand that Directive 2014/45/EU sets the minimum requirements in regard to the frequency of the roadworthiness testing of cars, with the first test required on the fourth anniversary of the first registration of the vehicle.  This requirement is transposed by the Road Traffic (National Car Test) Regulations 2007, S.I. 415 of 2017.  Therefore, a car that was first registered in 2014 would be due the test in 2018.
