Driving testers' contracts, including two in Cork, not renewed despite backlog

It includes two testers based in Wilton, where there is currently a 25-week wait time for a driving test

The RSA said the decision to not renew the seven contracts would not impact the waiting times.

Seven driving testers employed by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) have been informed their contracts will not be renewed despite waiting times still being far above service level.

The testers, two of whom are based at the driving test centre in Wilton in Cork, are due to exit employment in February and March.
