The driving test is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority.

The information requested is held by the Authority and this question is being referred to it for direct reply. 

I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

The validity period of Initial Basic Training (IBT) certificates is set out in legislation. Making a change to the validity of an existing certificate requires a change in law.

Regulations are currently being prepared for a further extension to IBT certificates and an update is expected shortly.
