Successive Transport Ministers have been slammed by a Cork TD for failing to address the ever-growing list of people waiting for an appointment to take their driving.
Cork East Sinn Féin TD Pat Buckley has called on the present incumbent, Eamon Ryan, to take decisive action to address the issue after it emerged there are 92,201 people on the waiting list across the State.
In Cork there are almost 10,000 on the list, 1,930 of those waiting for an appointment at the Mallow test centre. The figures showed 5,250 were waiting for an appointment at the Wilton test centre in Cork City, 776 in Ballincollig and almost 2,000 at other centres across the county.
