Thanks be! I'm on a "Priority" list for the past 10 days for either Little Island or Blarney.

I was on the priority list for about 3 weeks and nothing then I rang and they gave me a date 3 days later

I have a text that they are tying to find an appointment to test the Golf since the 27th Feb, if 4 weeks pass and still no test would that be sufficient proof to get a free test?

Edit: test!

Booked mine in Little island for for Friday 27th March....at 1.15am!!
I had the same text as you for over a week but I decided that I just wanted to get the test done & dusted.
@Peter-E36 You could argue it but If you don;t jump soon for the night time tests in march, it looks like the next available tests are May!

Update: When I checked the text it was actually from the 17th February, I called now and they offered 24th March 2:55 in the morning! I said it was outside the 4 weeks and I want it for free she argued a little then put me through to customer service, who then booked me in straight away for the 17th March at 8:20. Goes to show knowing your rights goes a long way! 8:20 is fine too, I could pop in before work whereas 2:55 am is a bit ridiculous...

Thats just daft and a complete waste of money to be paying staff overtime rate and allowance for unsociable hours to be doing nothing.

I totally understand extending working hours to late at night even up to 12pm to clear the back log. But who in God's name wants to go to the NCT in the wee hours of the morning???? :huh::huh::huh::huh::huh:

Who is paying for the extended opening?? The State or the privatised NCT companies???
