NCT underbody checks to resume at Doughiska test centre this week

Galway Bay fm newsroom:

Underbody vehicle tests at the Galway NCT centre in Doughiska will resume this week following the delivery and installation of new lifts.

This follows the installation of six new lifts last week including one at the Ballinasloe test centre.

Eight new centres will receive upgrades this week at Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Letterkenny, Killarney, Galway and two in Dublin.

Meanwhile, a road safety campaigner says it's "unacceptable" and "worrying" that checks on lifts at NCT centres only took place after problems were identified in the north.
