The planned industrial action was expected to have a detrimental effect on waiting times. However, following an agreement reached with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) on Tuesday night, the industrial action has been called off. Driver testers who are members of Fórsa balloted for industrial action last December. Fórsa driver testers will be represented on a working group overseeing the process, alongside the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland and the Department of Transport.
