    Was talking to my mechanic today. My NCT is due in May, he said there is long waiting list for inspections and only Ballina and Galway open in the West of Ireland. Suggested I book right away.

    But I was just able to book for Westport tomorrow afternoon and there were lots of time slots to choose from. I presume it woudn't let me book if they were closed?

    AFAIK the Westport centre is still open. You're just not allowed hang around in the waiting room. The full inspection is only being carried out in Ballina and Galway at the moment due to the issue with the lifts.

    You can still make an appointment and get all the other points checked but you will need to return at a later date once the lifts are back in service. Had mine done last month and still waiting for the call-back.

    No NCT, you shouldn't be driving. If the shops are too far to walk, a lot of places are pushing delivery services now.

    What condition is the car in? For example if it has bald/defective tyres it could be seized NCT or no NCT. Are all the lights on it working, if not it will only draw attention to you.

    Mine is out next week too, I'm not bringing it for now, I live 30mins from shops, I will be driving it when I have to. If guards stop me I'll explain to them there's a contagious pandemic happening. I doubt they will care that it will be out of nct a few weeks but who knows, I'd rather take that chance.

    Hold on there a sec.
    Stop unnecessarily trying to frighten people.

    There is a worldwide pandemic going on at the moment where many tens of thousands of people will die; including people that we know. That is the reality of the situation.
    The UK government, sensibly, has granted car owners in Britain and Northern Ireland a six-month exemption from MOT testing during this pandemic.
    This is not happening in the Republic of Ireland for some reason.
    On the Covid forum, you wanted someone to bring an NCT-due-car to the testing centre, even though the owner of the car was under isolation.

    Ladyinthedark; I would not worry too much about it. If the Guards stop you, just explain that you intend to NCT the vehicle when the testing centres are deemed a safe environment.

    Theres other options. I wasnt scaring her. What she's looking to do comes up frequently on the Twitter feed. The consensus is, if the car shouldn't be on the road, it shouldn't be on the road.

    Plus, ye forgot that half of the NCT centres are not fully operational. I've passed the first part of the test a few weeks back. Rang earlier this week to see if their lift was fixed and was told, 'most likely second or third week in April, if we're not shut down before then'.

    By whom?

    How often are NCT staff changing their gloves? After each inspection?
    Are car owners required to sanitise the vehicle before and indeed after the inspection to protect themselves? And repeat this process after the private NCT company fix their lifts, when motorists are required to return again to complete the tests in a month's time?

    But I am genuinely curious on who deem NCT centres safe, and I'm sure that it is not a self-declaration by the company, because it is actually a life and death situation for many people.

    Do the NCT testers have PPE now? How can they get into car after car after car some of which will be covered in virus particles , It only has to get lucky once.
    If they are not protected by PPE , they almost guaranteed to get it at some point over the course of a few weeks. and once they have it and they are now shedding virus into car after car after car until they become symptomatic.

    If they don't have PPE it should be suspended.

    We are being told Keplar, that the NCT testers are wearing rubber gloves.
    Does that give us any sense of reassurance?

    It is the height of insanity that this testing is allowed to continue in its current format. Without correct remediation immediately, current Irish NCT test centres must be riddled with virus contaminants and will infect unsuspecting motorists and staff accordingly.

    I took my car in last week. Gloves are changed after each inspection, and they asked everyone to wait outside the waiting room till cars are returned.

    I made sure the car was clean before going it (I can't remember if it was an email or on the website, but it does mention that the car should be clean and no stuff like used tissues in the car) and I used my wipes to go over it again once I got in,

    Perhaps best people to phone would be your insurance company. They are the only ones that will tell you if you are insured to drive without a valid nct.

    I will. Normally I would have the car tested last month.

    Big deal...

    Imagine the country being on hold not because of the virus, but the fecking nct.

    Which I would normally do earlier, but with no lifts I didn't.

    When I drive to the shops while I'm picking up eggs and milk I don't expect the shopkeeper to climb into my car and touch all the usual surfaces and breathe in it. Big difference B. As far as potential pathogen loads go(of any kind) our cars are right up there as risks. If I'm infected and spreading live virus it'll be all over the inside of my car. If anyone gets into it without proper PPE they will be exposed(and no a pair of gloves wouldn't cut it) and some will be infected. If a tester is infected they have the potential to infect many people. Never mind that after the lift fiasco many centres are not fit for purpose and people need to bring their car in twice.

    It seems bloody ridiculous to me that in the midst of the greatest health threat to Irish people in the history of this state we have a potential infection pinch point still running, yet on the other hand we're told to practice distancing and keeping the hell away from anybody we don't live with. It makes zero bloody sense to me. And I'd bet the farm any epidemiologist would agree with me. How many test centres remain operational in Spain, Italy, France etc? Even Britain who up until recently have been decidedly laggard in bringing in restrictions have stopped their MOT system.

    If that's true that requires a new definition of stupid.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Bad comparison.
    Irish car owners are not compelled to drive to the shops, they are for the NCT. It is the current requirement if your test is due, irrespective of your health and immune system, that you need to get your car tested at a private NCT centre. And you will need to bring back the car to the testing centre again next month (through no fault of your own) after they get their lifts fixed.

    Next month by the way should see us possibly at the height of the virus curve, which is a terrible time to be required to go back to the NCT centre.
    It is a ludicrous situation.

    Thats one of the dumbest statements boards has seen to date.

    The OP is concerned about Corona and trying to avoid something non essential (NCT). Food is essential (Going to the shops).

    Also as pointed out, when the OP goes to the shops there will not be anyone in their car pawing around at multiple touch points increasing the risk of the infection spreading.

    The UK actually has it right this time where everyone gets some leeway on their MOT and we should have the same, however Ireland being Ireland it is guaranteed someone will take the piss with such leeway.

    Try not to be so condescending in future. People are worried and do not need your attitude.

    My husband's NCT has been cancelled twice now. First one was last Thursday and just as he was heading out the door to the test centre, his phone rang and they told him they would have to reschedule for "operational reasons". Rescheduled test was for yesterday evening and on Tuesday he got an email saying it was being cancelled for "operational reasons". So now he's booked in for next Thursday morning.

    His NCT was up on the 20th. Fortunately he can work from home most days but now if he's going in to work he has to take my car just in case. I don't know what's going on. It's the Greenhills centre that he's booked for.

    Surely he'd be fine in this case if he can provide the garda with the cancellation emails. He has made the effort and the NCT are the ones cancelling it.

    I understand what you are saying, but is the NCT test so mission critical that we have to resort to showing our police force cancellation emails?

    We should never have to be in this position of having to show busy protectors of the State emails that a private company sent to motorists about test cancellations.
    When did common sense (by the authorities) go out the window?

    There is no difference at all.

    No nct is no nct. Half nct is no nct.

    That's the whole point.

    We shouldn't be in the situation but we are. At least if you have the paper trail on your side a judge will throw out the case and give the garda a good bollocking (although I don't see it coming to that)

    Yes but if someone has evidence that they at least tried to get through it and it was the NCT center's fault they couldn't, they should be okay if they can prove it.

    I can't imagine a judge convicting you unless the car was deemed a death trap at the side of the road and without NCT for a very long time.

    If only recently out and in good condition you would imagine all will be fine

    You were right. When I arrived I was told it wouldn't be a full inspection. They did the rest but car failed on three points:
    --cloudy headlights, got those sorted today
    --dip beam needs to be adjusted
    --driver's side window not opening.

    The driver's window has been a problem ever since I bought the car. Works sometimes, or sometimes it opens but I can't close it. Hope mechanic can sort that out. Said to drop it off Wed or Thur to address both of those issues.

    So I made a return appt - Ballina was available for Monday week for retest. That was this Friday afternoon before Leo's announcement at 9PM. I presume all test centres will be closed now for at least two weeks?

    COVID–19 Update – Further to the Government’s announcement of Friday evening 27th March, extending public restrictions in response to the Coronavirus, the NCT will not be opening for business on Saturday 28th March. Pending a further review on Saturday following Government clarification of essential services a decision will be made in relation to the future delivery of services.

    I have an NCT booked for early next April. The disc is valid until 25 April.
    I see the NCT centres are still open. If the car fails no garages are operating, I may avail of a call out service though. Since call out services lack equipment the car may not be able to be repaired. Therefore can I cancel the test, store it on a privately owned (owned by house constructor) but publically accessible road and use my wife's car? When normality resumes may I drive it to the NCT centre with an expired disc and then drive to the garage if it fails?
    Thank you.

    A good pal of mine has a lend of a car I own. Hes had it first a couple of weeks,yester6he called his insurance co to extend his temporary cover. Insurance co refused because there is no test on the car. The car passed the partial test about 4 weeks ago,since then its original test has expired( they had no issue insuring it then) and it would appear its uninsurable,at least with his company.

    Personally I'd have kicked up stink

    The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Shane Ross, has said National Car Testing Service (NCT), as well as the Commercial Vehicle Testing System are suspended until further notice.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.
