Online driver theory tests urgently needed to clear backlog, says Cork TD

The Driver Theory Test is considered a non-essential service, said the Department of Transport

A Cork TD has said online theory tests need to be implemented urgently to deal with the huge backlog that has built up since the Covid-19 pandemic began. More than 100,000 would-be motorists are currently waiting to sit the driver theory test

Labour's Sean Sherlock said the backlog needs to be cleared as a matter of priority for young people who have no public transport supports available to them.
