A local TD is calling for a review.
Almost 30-week-long wait times in the midlands for the NCT.
In Portlaoise, people could be waiting up to 29 weeks, while the average period in Tullamore is 25 weeks.
Laois Offaly TD, Brian Stanley is calling on the Minister for Transport to review the NCT.
Deputy Stanley says "The system is under real stress and consideration needs to be given to extending the time between tests by allowing the test time to run from when the car is tested rather than from when it falls due."
