More than 96,000 still awaiting driving test 

Learner drivers in Dublin, Cork, or Kildare could be facing the longest wait for a test.

More than 96,000 people are still awaiting their driving tests, with more than three-quarters of those on the list under 40.

Cork East TD Sean Sherlock, who requested the official figures in a parliamentary question, said jobs and opportunities for younger people are going abegging the longer the backlog lasts.
