675. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of failures of tests for dipped headlights adjudicated by the National Car Testing service since it reopened post-Covid-19 restrictions in tabular form; and the geographical spread of each centre failing for this measure. [12028/20]

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is the body responsible for the operation and oversight of the National Car Testing Service. Accordingly, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct reply as it relates to an operational matter.

I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
