Calls For A Second Driving Test Centre In Kildare North

With people waiting up to six months for an NCT according to Cllr Evie Sammon

Cllr Evie Sammon is calling for a second driving test centre in Kildare North, at the very least until waiting lists return to an acceptable level.
 
She expresses how there are people waiting up to six months for a driving test here in Kildare North, and five months for an NCT.
 
She believes that it is time that a relief contract was negotiated for a second driving test centre in Kildare North so that the backlog is addressed.
 
Cllr Evie Sammon said we have made significant progress in public transport in recent years, but the reality is that people in rural areas still have no choice but to drive. She adds that we are still heavily reliant upon the car to access work, education, and day-to-day activities.
