Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Issues Facing the Road Haulage Industry: Irish Road Haulage Association

2:00 am

Mr. David McArdle:

To add to that, let us say a driver has a licence and practised for two or three years, then went into an office or left the country, the same as Mr. Drennan's man. If he attempts to return to driving, he has to do five CPCs before he is even allowed to use his driving licence again. If he has experience, he should be able to do the first one, start his job, do his course and keep rotating it after that. It is not fit for purpose.
