The RSA have made an application to the government to increase the price of services available to drivers, including the NCT test and driving tests to name a few
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.
The RSA, which has a budget of more than €90m annually, appealed directly to Taoiseach Simon Harris to allow it to increase charges from next year. A 10% increase on the NCT would see the charge upped by €5.50 to €60.50. For driving tests the fees would increase by €8.50 to €93.50. In the documents, they said: "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?"
