Imelda Munster (SF), Louth

The saga of the driving test centre in Drogheda has been going on for nearly six years. At this stage, it is frankly ridiculous. I raised the matter with the Taoiseach last year. The Road Safety Authority, RSA, has been promising a centre for years. Fourteen sites were identified. The RSA rejected some without even giving a reason and rejected others on the basis that there was too much traffic in the area. How ridiculous is that? Drogheda is the largest town in Ireland. People have an entitlement in this regard but they are waiting over 30 weeks, if they are lucky, to get tests. I ask that somebody in government put pressure on the RSA to get its act together and finally provide a driving test centre in Drogheda.
