I propose to take Questions Nos. 169 to 173, inclusive, together.

The operation of the national driving test service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority and the information requested is held by them. I have therefore referred the Deputy's Questions to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
Question No. 170 answered with Question No. 169.
Question No. 171 answered with Question No. 169.
Question No. 172 answered with Question No. 169.
Question No. 173 answered with Question No. 169.
