the Gardai are responsible for issuing the license, they did this July 2.

The NTA are responsible for:
1- Taking payment, they wouldn't as employees were working from home, eventually got me to post a postal order to a PO box in Galway (I couldn't send it recorded to a PO box so had to fret over it getting lost and losing my €250/not getting a receipt  until I received the receipt 7 days later)
2- Issuing the dashboard ID and card: They still haven't supplied this
3: Updating the APP, Dispite the Gardai issuing the Licence on the 2nd, they have unlinked me from the APP due to their incompetence, I have sent them initially a copy of the licence extension and since then a copy of my licence, they still refuse to update the link, seemingly they will collect the details from the Carriage office on Wednesday (the carriage office informed me of this), god knows how long they'll take after that.

Yes the NTA are responsible they are also incompetent

Got my SPSVDL back in March one week after applying to the CO up above in Dublin. ID cards / App update took another 5-6 weeks, I guess COVID '19 was a factor by then.

Similarly The Carriage office took a week once I gave them the receipt (they couldn't process it until then)
NTA have been shit at every step

It’s the fcuking NTA, almost 5 months into a worldwide pandemic their only advice to taxi drivers remains “wash your hands”.., as an experienced taxi driver you should have known to start the renewal process many months in advance,  you are the shit on the nta’s shoe.

Unfortunately for some Korky the renewal process timeframe fell at the same time they effectively shut up shop and while other businesses faciltated their customers in some shape or form the NTA were and still are their bullish selves,some drivers have had to undergo second NCT's because they wouldn't honour the the extension granted to other motorists....wash yer hands and walk is the best advice they can offer.

Gave the Application minus payment receipt to the carriage office in May, Licence expired in July (NTA couldn't accept payments)
