Taoiseach backs move to remove responsibility for testing and licensing from RSA

A major shake-up of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is likely to see it broken up, with driver and vehicle testing and licencing hived off completely.

The Taoiseach has backed proposals to remove the responsibility for testing and licensing from the Road Safety Authority (RSA).

Simon Harris said that options presented within the Government’s review of the state agency are due to come before Cabinet in the autumn, while saying that Ireland is currently “in a very bad place” on road fatalities.
