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

It is however worth noting that under road traffic legislation, all vehicle owners must be in possession of a valid roadworthiness certificate for their vehicle while it is being used in public places or on public roads. Enforcement of road traffic legislation is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
