Covid downgrading of Offaly NDLS office made permanentJunior Transport Minister Hildegarde Naughten has confirmed that the temporary Covid downgrading of all National Driving Licence Service (NDLS) offices across the State, including the local office in Tullamore, has now been made permanent. In the Dáil last week, Deputy McNamara accused the NDLS of “blackguarding the elderly” by the service being provided. The man subsequently went to the TD’s office where he was assisted and the paperwork was emailed. The TD’s office rang the NDLS and spent 45 minutes waiting but nobody answered. Minister Naughten confirmed to the Clare TD that an additional staff member was due to commence employment at the centre which, she said, would enable the Ennis office to operate at a two-booth capacity.
