The ballot opens today and runs until January 6th, 2026.

Driving testers at the Road Safety Authority are being balloted for industrial action over concerns about uninsured vehicles being used in driving tests.

Fórsa trade union says there’s no reliable system to check if vehicles are insured, leaving staff exposed and under pressure to carry out exams.

The ballot opens today and runs until January 6th, 2026.

Niall Shanahan from Fórsa says more safeguards need to be in place.
