Theory test debate
Deputy McGrath objected to the late sitting and raised the theory test service, saying it was failing businesses, farmers and young people. He sought a debate with the Minister for Transport on restarting it.
I too am objecting to the House sitting tonight until 12.30 a.m. When we are trying to talk about a staff-friendly environment, those hours are crazy. We need to start earlier or do something else.
I am objecting to the business on the basis that the theory test situation is absolutely laughable. I have raised this here with the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Minister for Transport. Someone needs to get a hold on this. Businesses and farmers cannot survive and young people cannot go to work.
Comment on this
I want a debate on it. I want the Minister for Transport to come in here, get the Road Safety Authority to cop on and allow the theory test to be restarted.
