The Road Safety Authority is seeking an increase in the fees charged to motorists for the National Car Test , the driving test and a range of other services it provides.
Among the fees it wants to increase are charges for the NCT, the issuing of driving licences, and commercial vehicle testing. It also wants to increase the fees for driving tests. It is understood the RSA has had to pay wage increases, rent increases and make provision to pay contractors extra due to higher inflation.In a direct appeal to Mr Harris, the RSA outlined its"funding ask."
"Both are large multi-annual programmes requiring committed funding and sanctioned headcount to deliver. Is there an option to ring-fence funding and resourcing for these priorities?" it asked. It urged the Government to allocate money directly from the exchequer if fee increases were not sanctioned.
