Mr. Fintan Towey:

I will answer the questions in reverse order because Professor Cusack might add some points on the drugs question. As regards the mutual recognition of driving disqualifications, the UK has withdrawn from the applicable EU convention with effect from 1 December 2014. That effectively means that in instances where people who are disqualified from driving in the UK, if they have an Irish-issued licence and an Irish address, since 1 December 2014, those disqualifications cannot be applied here within Ireland.
