91.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. This includes the locations and operation of driving test centres.

I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.

Pending this more detailed response, I am informed that the RSA are continuing to work with the Office of Public Works on finding a suitable test centre site for Drogheda but have been unsuccessful to date.
