Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will have to check with the RSA but my understanding is it is still trying to find an appropriate site in Drogheda for a test centre. I will double-check that. I know it has hired additional driver testers. There has been about a 30% increase in demand for driving tests so it has hired many more driver testers. We anticipate wait times falling in the next couple of months. That is really important, particularly for people who need to pass their driving test to take up employment or get to college.
