297. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps that can be taken to ensure that a car can receive an NCT in advance of its current expiration (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30151/22]

The operation of the National Car Test Service (NCTS) is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority and I have no role in individual cases.  I have therefore referred the question and the details supplied 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.

However, I am given to understand that customers seeking test appointments may contact the NCTS directly by calling 01-4135992 or may avail of the waiting list function via the website www.ncts.ie.
