198. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to provide an update from the RSA on the efforts it has made in 2023 and to date in 2024 to develop a permanent driving test centre in Drogheda, County Louth; if a site has been identified; if the RSA is looking at sites to re-establish a temporary centre in the area while the search for a permanent facility continues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for Driver Testing Service and the provision of test centres. As such, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the RSA for direct, detailed reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

Pending this more detailed response, I am informed that investigations are ongoing between the Road Safety Authority and the Office of Public Works on finding a suitable test centre site for Drogheda.
