Almost 34,000 people are waiting for a driving test.
Learners who apply for a test today will face a wait of up to 14 weeks before they sit their test.
These new figures have been released by the Road Safety Authority under the Freedom of Information Act.
Nearly 14,000 of those waiting for a test have received an appointment for the coming weeks.
Just under 20,000 are still waiting for tests to be scheduled, including nearly 2,600 in Tallaght in Dublin.
Over 1,000 people are also waiting for an appointment in Finglas and Dun Laoghaire/Deansgrange, both in Dublin, and Naas in Co Kildare.
Waiting times for a test vary significantly throughout the country.
The worst is in Killester in Dublin, the RSA says if you book a test there today, you'll have to wait about 14 weeks.
But five centres have waiting times of only three weeks.
