Boylan encourages public to have its say on MOT consultation

Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Boylan has encouraged the public to have its say on a consultation launched by the Department for Infrastructure on changing the frequency of MOT testing for some vehicles.

The party’s transport spokesperson said:

“Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd has announced a public consultation to hear the public’s views around changing the frequency of MOT testing from one year to two years for some vehicles.

“With the demand for MOTs increasing, the minister is working hard to cut wait times for a test through recruitment for additional workers, operating on Sundays and bank holidays alongside other measures.

“I would encourage the public to have its say on the issue which is running until 16 April, 2025.”
