About Kilkenny Driving Test Centre
Kilkenny Driving Test Centre is listed at Kilkenny City, Co. Kilkenny, R95 WV59. It is in the Government Offices area on Hebron Road, on the eastern side of the city. The location is practical for learners based in Kilkenny and those travelling in from surrounding parts of the county. For local orientation, Hebron Road connects into the wider N10 and ring-road network, while Kilkenny MacDonagh station is on the Dublin Heuston to Waterford rail line. Use the address on your RSA booking confirmation and allow time to arrive settled and ready.
This centre may suit learners who live, work or take lessons in Kilkenny City and nearby county areas. It can also be a workable choice for people arriving by car from the N10 side of the city. Learners travelling by rail can use Kilkenny MacDonagh station as their city arrival point, then plan the final leg in advance.
Plans use a one-time payment from €14.99, with no subscription. The checkout shows the centres, notification channels and fulfilment included in each enabled option.
Kilkenny Pass Rate and Statistics
Pass Rate Analysis
The supplied pass rate for Kilkenny is 68.4% for H1 2024, compared with a supplied national average of 47.3%. This is historical context, not a prediction of your result or a measure of how easy the centre is. Results can reflect many factors, including the mix of candidates tested during that period. Put the focus on safe, consistent driving, the Rules of the Road and preparation with your instructor. Data source: RSA.
How Kilkenny Compares
Carlow is the supplied nearby alternative, at 18.1 miles from Kilkenny, with a historical H1 2024 pass rate of 63.1%. It may be worth considering only if the journey, lesson arrangements and test-day travel work for you. It is not a shortcut to a pass, and its rate does not show that it is easier or better. Compare practical travel commitments alongside the RSA appointment options available to you.
Preparing for Kilkenny
Prepare for normal city driving rather than trying to memorise a route. Kilkenny County Council’s 2024 transport assessment recorded substantial traffic volumes on the N10 between the Hebron Road roundabout and the Kilkenny Retail Park junction. When practising in the wider Hebron Road and city area, build calm habits for reading signs early, choosing lanes in good time, checking mirrors before changing position and making steady progress when it is safe.
Kilkenny also has busy town-centre streets and several main approaches, so practise dealing with pedestrians, parked vehicles, junctions and changing traffic flow without rushing. Include roundabouts and traffic lights in lessons, but focus on observation, speed choice and correct positioning rather than any supposed test route. Ask your ADI to work on the areas where your own driving needs the most improvement.
Getting to Kilkenny Test Centre
If you are driving, use the Kilkenny City address and R95 WV59 from your RSA booking confirmation when planning the journey.

Check the live journey details and plan your final connection before test day.
Earlier Appointment Guidance for Kilkenny
Irish Driving Test Finder is independent of the Road Safety Authority, and the RSA controls official appointments and availability. For Kilkenny, Notify lets you save your preferred centre, date and time choices. If a potentially suitable RSA slot is detected, it sends you an instant text, so you do not need to keep refreshing the RSA MyRoadSafety booking platform yourself.
Slots at busy centres can be taken quickly, so a text alert gives you the chance to act while the appointment may still be available. An earlier Kilkenny slot could bring your test forward by days, weeks or sometimes months, depending entirely on RSA availability and the choices you save.
Optional AutoBook is for customers who already have an RSA appointment and choose to authorise rebooking. It can act quickly when a matching slot is still available, but it cannot reserve, hold or guarantee any appointment.
