205. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of persons waiting for a driving test in the test centre in Skibbereen, County Cork; the average length of waiting time for a test by month from January to date in November 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The operation of the national driving test service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
Specific details on the number of persons awaiting a driving test and the length of time they have been waiting are held by the RSA. 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.

206. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the RSA can guarantee a full five-day testing service in Skibbereen, County Cork; the reason that a resident tester has not been put in place despite a recruitment drive and the fact that more than 40 are employed in the country; the reason that instructors are informed third hand even though they pay an affiliation fee to the RSA every second year (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.
