239. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update on any progress the RSA has made since it closed the temporary driving test centre in Drogheda on the identification of a site for a new temporary centre and/or a site for a permanent centre in the town; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for all aspects of the National Driving Test service, including test centre locations. I am informed that there are very real challenges to locating a suitable driving test centre site in Drogheda town. The RSA are continuing to work with the Office of Public Works (OPW) on finding a suitable site. I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for a more detailed reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
