221. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to irregularities at a driving theory test centre (details supplied) in which persons have presented at their appointed test time to discover the centre closed, nobody answering the phone number provided and without receiving any notification of the cancellation of their test; the steps he will take to rectify this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The operation of the driver theory testing service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in operational matters.
I understand from the Authority that the test centre in Cavan does not open every day. It opens only when candidates are scheduled with confirmed appointments. I further understand that there were no issues in respect of Cavan theory test centre being closed when it should have been open. However, a number of appointments were rescheduled due to government capacity restrictions and all impacted candidates were notified via email of their new appointments details.
