New Booking System For Driving Tests Being Launched Today
It's to help with a waiting list of around 80,000 people.
It will allow customers to book a test, manage their applications and their licences.
Conor Faughnan, director of consumer affairs for AA Ireland, says it won't solve the backlog:
"While it's a nice customer feature it doesn't address the fundamental problem, they have a huge backlog of driving tests, it's 80,000 people in the queue and growing. The waiting list to do the driving test was about six weeks when COVID first test. It's now 30 weeks, and worsening, and although they said that they need more driving testers and they're trying to recruit them, they haven't managed to do that yet."
