Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will have to check that for the Deputy. I do not believe that is a legislative issue. If I recall correctly, we passed legislation, either during my time or that of the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, requiring people to bring their licences to court so that they could be taken off them. This is a problem around enforcement. What is required is better enforcement by the Garda, and it is being given the equipment it needs so that gardaí at the roadside know, when they stop a car, that the person no longer has a licence to drive.
