Motorists left unable to renew driving licences as appointments cancelled

A spokesperson for the Road Safety Authority, which operates the NDLS, said: “I can confirm that there was an issue with the NDLS this morning and we were unable to process some customer applications."

In-centre appointments at National Driving Licence Service centres across the country were severely disrupted today, leaving hundreds of customers who had made appointments unable to renew their licences.

Approximately 60 people who had turned up for appointments at the centre in Cork city this morning were left frustrated after they were told by staff that their appointments had been cancelled due to an issue with the NDLS internal systems.
