About Killester Driving Test Centre
Killester driving test appointments are held in Dublin 5, D05 FF96, at the St Brigid’s Resource Centre setting on Howth Road. The centre sits in the established Killester area, between the wider Clontarf, Raheny, Artane and Donnycarney sides of north Dublin. Howth Road is a useful landmark when planning your arrival. The resource centre is behind the car park at St Brigid’s Church, rather than directly on the main road frontage. Killester DART Station is also nearby and is served by DART and Dublin Commuter services, giving learners and accompanying drivers another way to reach the area.
Killester can suit learners based in Dublin 5 and nearby northside areas who are comfortable travelling via the Howth Road corridor. It may also be practical for people coming from Clontarf, Raheny, Artane, Donnycarney, Fairview or the city side, depending on their lesson arrangements and preferred test-day travel plan.
When an appointment matches your preferences, Irish Driving Test Finder follows the fulfilment stated for your selected plan. Review the plan details carefully before payment.
Killester Pass Rate and Statistics
Pass Rate Analysis
Killester’s historical car driving-test pass rate was 37.3% in H1 2024, compared with a national average of 47.3% for the same supplied period. That is a 10.0 percentage-point difference, but it is context only, not a prediction of any learner’s result. Pass rates can vary with the mix of candidates and tests in a period. Focus on being ready to drive safely and independently, rather than choosing a centre based on a past percentage. Data source: RSA.
How Killester Compares
If travel flexibility matters, the former Raheny centre is the closest supplied alternative at 1.6 miles, followed by Finglas at 3.9 miles and Charlestown at 4 miles. Dun Laoghaire is 6 miles away and Mulhuddart is 7.1 miles away. These are travel and appointment options, not easier-test comparisons. When booking through the RSA platform, check each location only if you can realistically attend and are prepared to test there. Raheny is no longer a booking option; its appointments moved to Killester.
Preparing for Killester
Prepare for normal north Dublin driving rather than trying to memorise a route. Build confidence on the Howth Road area by practising clear observation, lane discipline, speed-sign awareness and safe decisions around bus stops, pedestrian activity and cyclists. Dublin City Council’s active-travel work includes the Clontarf to city-centre corridor, while planned walking and cycling infrastructure also links Collins Avenue towards Howth Road. That local context makes looking early, signalling clearly and checking mirrors before changing position good habits to practise. Include quieter residential streets in lessons too, where parked vehicles can narrow the usable space and meeting traffic calls for patience and planning. Ask your instructor to practise a broad range of junctions, turns, moving off, stopping and manoeuvres around the wider area. These are preparation areas only, not official Killester test routes.
Getting to Killester Test Centre
Use D05 FF96 in your satnav and allow time to locate the Resource Centre behind the St Brigid’s Church car park on Howth Road. Killester DART Station has DART and Dublin Commuter services, ticket machines and step-free platform access via ramps. If someone is accompanying you, agree a simple meeting point before the appointment so you can stay focused. The parish resource centre states that car parking is available, but arrangements may be shared with other users. Confirm parking and arrival arrangements before travelling, especially if you are bringing a lesson car. Check the TFI Journey Planner for live public-transport options on the day.
Earlier Appointment Guidance for Killester
Irish Driving Test Finder is independent of the RSA, which controls all official Killester appointments and availability through MyRoadSafety. Notify lets you save Killester, along with the dates and times you can genuinely make. If a potentially suitable slot is detected, it sends an instant text, so you do not need to keep refreshing the RSA MyRoadSafety booking platform. Slots at busy centres can be taken quickly, so the text helps you decide whether to check the official booking page promptly. An earlier appointment could bring your test forward by days, weeks or sometimes months, but that depends entirely on RSA availability and your saved choices. 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 a slot.
