699. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when a date will be set for a driving test for a person (details supplied) in County Cork; the current waiting times for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36300/15]

The operation of the driver testing service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in individual cases. I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
