As the Tánaiste is aware, there is a large backlog for driver theory tests across the State, with 25,000 appointments for June alone. I welcome the Government's commitment to start reopening the 40 centres on 8 June, albeit on a phased basis. However, my constituency is facing further disruptions to its already overloaded system due to the closure during the week of the driver theory test centre at Pierce Court, Paul Quay owing to a serious environmental issue. The closure will last for a few months or possibly longer. Will the Government consider opening a pop-up centre or other alternative immediately, as we are all aware of young drivers' need to get to work or college, particularly those in rural settings who have no other means of transport? This situation is leaving young Wexford drivers in a disadvantaged and stressful state.

I appreciate the need to get driver testing going again, both the theory test and the practical test. This is being provided for as part of the reopening that will occur across June and July. Approximately 40 more driving testers are being recruited.

I am not familiar with the issue at the centre the Deputy mentioned, but I will let the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, know that he raised it, as she has responsibility for this area. Perhaps she will be able to explore with Deputy Mythen and the other local Deputies whether there is a possibility for some form of alternative arrangement to be put in place.
