The Road Safety Authority says that it is suspending the provision of all driver theory tests in light of the COVID-19 restrictions.
As a result of COVID-19, Prometric who runs the test on behalf of the RSA, is no longer in a position to provide a normal level of staffing that maintains the integrity of the service while adhering to HSE guidelines on social distancing.
The suspension takes effect as and from today(March 25) and will be subject to ongoing review.
Candidates who have a driver theory test scheduled up to 19 April, will be contacted to notify them that their test will be rescheduled free of charge when the service resumes. Updates around the re-starting of tests will be published here.
Prometric has advised that it will continue to provide a service in emergency cases and arrangements for this will be published on their website www.theorytest.ie by Wednesday afternoon 25 March.
