Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I understand this is a matter that is under review by the Minister for Transport. Like the Deputy, I do not like the idea of a numerical cut-off age. I am sure there are people over 70 who are in good physical and mental health and who can continue to drive buses. There may be insurance issues involved, though. It is something the Minister for Transport is examining at the moment.
