Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Draft Public Transport Bill 2015: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
There are different levels. The level we would like to start with is that it is a self-declaration that one is fit to work. If one says one has certain conditions, we would say that person needs to get a doctor's opinion in regard to one's suitability given those particular conditions. Most conditions that might appear on the current road safety forms box for driver licences would not preclude one from driving a vehicle but one needs to declare them. A small number would create a difficulty in terms of the lifting of luggage as mentioned by the Deputy. For those ones, we would have the ability to request a doctor's opinion.
