Under legislation, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is the body responsible for the operation of the Theory Test. All enquires relating to the service are handled by the Authority. My Department does not have access to individual applications.

This question is therefore being referred to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

The protocol for scheduling appointments is an operational matter for the RSA and I do not have any role in this process.
