Driver Test
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-12
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I ask about the enormous backlog of people waiting for driver tests. The Road Safety Authority, RSA, has indicated that more than 93,000 learner drivers are waiting to sit their tests. The problem has been deteriorating over the year and has increased by 70% since June of this year. What measures are being taken to address this?
