I do not know if there is anyone on the Government benches who can answer this. It is with regard to the numerous promises to reduce the waiting lists for those seeking a driving test across the State. Tallaght remains highest on the list consistently with more than 10,000 people waiting on tests. The two centres nearby have the second and third highest numbers in the State.

I raised this issue numerous times in this Chamber with the relevant Minister but there does not seem to be a plan in that regard. Is there any plan to deal with reducing the backlog, including perhaps a new driving test centre in the south Dublin area? Does the Minister have any update on that? If he does not, can he get one for me?

I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to come back to the Deputy with more detailed update. It is an issue of which they are very much aware. They are working with the Road Safety Authority, RSA, to try to clear backlogs that have developed over the last couple of years. For young people in particular, it can be a real frustration and life inhibitor if they are not able to access a test. We will follow up on that and come back to the Deputy.
