Mr. Tom O'Mahony:

The appropriate people to ask about that issue would be the courts or the Department of Justice and Equality because they are responsible for enforcement. What we are trying to do in order to stop it happening, through the group we have, which involves the courts and the Garda Síochána, is to engage with the courts on the type of instructions that issue to individual courts and, effectively, to get everybody on board. Clearly, what is happening in some courts, whether it is the judge or court officials, is that they do not fully understand what they are supposed to be doing. That is the only explanation for it because it is fairly black and white. If one appears and one does not have the licence, one has committed another offence.
