From 9 April 2018, which is only a few weeks away, one must have a public services card in order to renew one's driver licence. One must arrange an appointment with the social welfare office in order to get the card. That will be an impossibility for people in places such as Glencar, Sneem, Castlecove, Lauragh and Tuosist. We are told that to get a public services card one must have a current driver's licence or passport or else one can get it otherwise online. The trouble is that in the places I have mentioned there is no line other than a clothes line. It is a fact that there is no broadband. It is a day's work to leave Glencar or Sneem and go to Kenmare, and one must have an appointment arranged. It is absolutely ridiculous. Heretofore, the Garda could give one an ML10 form-----
