The RSA has a presence in over 50 locations throughout the
country. This includes headquarters in Ballina, a sub-office in
Loughrea and driving test centres in various locations
throughout the country. The RSA uses the services of the
Office of Public Works (OPW) who, through their Property
Management and Property Maintenance Services, manage
the procurement and maintenance of office accommodation
for Government Departments, Offices and Agencies.
The condition and continued suitability of driving test centres
is under constant review and the RSA is in ongoing
discussions with the OPW regarding maintenance and
replacement, if appropriate, of driving test centres. During
2009, two new Driving Test Centres were opened – one in
Killarney, Co. Kerry in the Racecourse grounds in July and one
in Killeens in Wexford in December. Also during 2009,
refurbishment works were carried out at Carrick-on-Shannon
Driving Test Centre to bring that centre up to standard and
finance was put in place to allow OPW conduct major
refurbishment works at Roscommon Driving Test Centre
during 2010. In August 2009, the Driving Test Centre in Ballina
moved from its location in Government Offices to the RSA
Headquarters at Primrose Hill.
