Some 500 drivers may get a free NCT test for their vehicle due to the new St Brigid’s Day Bank Holiday next week.
The Road Safety Authority confirmed to the Oireachtas Transport Committee that if people who paid the €55 fee were left waiting over 28 days for an NCT appointment in 2022, they will get a refund.
Applus+ managing director Mark Synott told the Oireachtas Transport Committee that 375,000 cars are currently overdue for an NCT.
