353. Deputy Johnny Guirke asked the Minister for Transport the average waiting time to receive an NCT date in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34452/26]

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Car Testing Service and the information requested is held by the RSA.

I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
