A Sligo Leitrim TD has accused the Department of Transport of a lack of forward planning to tackle the backlog in driving test waiting times.
Some centres in the North West had been experiencing lengthy wait times in recent months.
Yesterday, it was confirmed that 75 additional driving testers are to be appointed right across the country in a bid to alleviate the waiting list.
However, the additional testers are not expected to be operating within the system until towards the end of this year.
Speaking to Ocean FM news, Sinn Feins spokesperson on Communications and Transport Deputy Martin Kenny says the move was long overdue and should have been initiated before now:
