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 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.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 178 and 179 together.

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 the Questions 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.
