All enquires relating to scheduling driving tests are handled by the Road Safety Authority (RSA)- who have statutory responsibility for the operation of the test. My Department does not have access to individual applications nor have I any power to intervene or expediate individual cases.

The Road Safety Authority has advised it is prioritising driver testing for essential workers and has set up a dedicated webform for same. Anyone looking for an urgent driving test appointment and falls into this category can apply to book a driving test at www.myroadsafety.ie If there is no available slot and they have made an application, they can ask to be prioritised by accessing and providing the relevant details
