A long tailback for new driving licence

Sir, – I have had the misfortune to experience the new driving licence application process. In Dublin, one must attend one of three centres in order to apply. There is only one Northside office, which is in Omni Centre in Santry. I queued for three and a half hours recently before I was attended to.

Surely the Road Safety Authority could have opened a few other centres as they should have known the likely numbers attending? – Yours, etc,

DES BOYLE,
