In 2015, An Garda Síochána was given additional powers to go directly to the courts rather than be obliged to serve summonses on individuals who are caught on the roadside, who have been disqualified and who are still driving. Do our guests agree that the situation has reached crisis point? If 89% of disqualified drivers are still driving and carrying their licences, that is a crisis for the administration of justice.
