The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for all aspects of the National Driving Test service.  This includes test applications and scheduling matters. Neither I nor my Department have access, nor the power, to intervene in individual cases.  

I have referred this 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.

The operation of the national driving test service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority and the information requested is held by them. I have therefore referred this 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.
