I propose to take Questions Nos. 224 and 225 together.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the Driver Testing Service and the information on applicants requested is held by it. The Authority also holds tester cost information, as the employer of the driving testers. As such, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
