Some Irish car owners may be eligible for a free NCT appointment with most centres now only offering booking for early 2023.
The first available appointment in Dublin is April next year while centres in Portlaoise, Athlone and Ballinasloe have no appointments until March next year. Mullingar's earliest appointment is January 25.
A spokesperson for the RSA told Dublin Live that the average NCT waiting time nationwide is currently 24.5 days. However, Dublin appears to be lagging far behind this timeframe with no appointments available online until April 2023.
