I propose to take Questions Nos. 181, 182, 183 and 184 together.

I propose to take PQs 14233/22, 14234/22, 14235/22 and 14236/22 together.

The operation of the National Car Test (NCT) service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority and I have therefore referred these questions 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.
