The party is calling for Applus to leave its contract with the RSA, as customers continue to wait up to six months for an NCT.
However, the operator is being accused of falsely advertising a national average wait of 14 days.
Motorists in the midlands will be waiting until Wednesday of next week for an appointment in Tullamore, while the next available day in Athlone and Mullingar is January 8th - in Portlaoise, you'll be waiting until January 11th.
