While the provisions governing the operation of the National Car Test, including the charging of fees, are set out in the relevant regulations, under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No.477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is the body responsible for the operation of periodic roadworthiness testing in the State.

In that capacity, I understand that the RSA is considering suitable administrative actions to take account of the exceptional circumstances where vehicle owners have not been able to avail of a retest as a direct result of the emergency measures. Accordingly, I have forwarded your queryto the RSA as it relates to an operational matter.
