Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I have been following closely the questions tabled by Deputy Charles Flanagan in respect of the issuing of a road haulier's licence to a convicted drug trafficker. As the Taoiseach is aware, one of the fundamental issues is that the rule of law should apply to everybody and be seen to apply. In what circumstances was a road haulier's licence allocated to a convicted drug trafficker, thus allowing him to transport drugs into and around this country? Will the Taoiseach indicate the conditions that apply? One of the fundamental requirements when obtaining a road haulier's licence is that the applicant be of good repute.
