What is the reason for persons with diabetes being forced to get shorter-term driving licences? What measures are in place to offset the additional costs of having to renew the licence every three years, compared with every ten years for other persons? I ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter. This relates to people who have diabetes. Every three years, they have to renew their driving licence. It is costing them €50 or €60 straight away to get a report from a doctor. Will something be done about that? This is causing untold unfairness. These people are being treated differently from other citizens.
