Hopes for Carn NCT in 2010
30.10.09
PROGRESS is likely to
be made in the New Year on an NCT centre for
Inishowen, according to Senator Cecilia Keaveney.
Purchase of site in Carndonagh fell through earlier
this year but an alternative site for the 2,000sq ft
NCT facility was actively pursued.
Minister Noel Dempsey, T.D. this week informed the
Moville-based senator that progress on the proposed
Carn site would be made early in 2010.
"Given the battle to have it acknowledged that a
centre was necessary for Inishowen, it has been one
hurdle after another in relation to getting the
facility up and running," she said. |

"There had been a site
identified and a promise of testing commencing over
a year ago and that fell through. The process began
again and there was a change in who delivered the
National Car Testing which has delayed things even
further."
She said she was assured that a car testing centre
for the peninsula was "very much still on the
agenda".
"News that the testing centre for Inishowen is very
much still on the agenda and is being planned for
the New Year will be news which the general
population in |
Inishowen will welcome.
"I, like them however this time, will be awaiting
the first test and not perhaps another false dawn. I
know the Minister will continue to hear more from me
as the countdown to local car testing begins," she
added. |
