Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Disqualified Drivers: Discussion
1:30 pm
Ms Moyagh Murdock:
Obviously we fully support the Clancy amendment and we are fully behind the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, in trying to bring the legislation forward. The law is clear in respect of what is permitted. There is a culture of non-compliance. In exactly the same way as some people do not surrender their driver's licence, there seems to be a laissez-faireapproach, especially by parents allowing their children to drive unaccompanied. The RSA is involved in education and awareness, and we are trying to educate through the means for which we are recognised.
