334. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if persons who had a theory test cancelled as a result of level 5 restrictions can be facilitated with new appointments as soon as the test centres reopen on 1 December 2020 as opposed to joining the end of the queue for the next available appointment.

The scheduling of driver theory tests is an operational matter, and I have no role in this matter.

I have therefore passed the Deputy's question to the Road Safety Authority for direct answer. If the Deputy has not received a reply within 10 working days please contact my office.
