Will the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform come to the House to confirm or deny whether it is the State's contention that people with diabetes are unfit to drive? We have all got diabetic friends, family members or neighbours and following a recent ban on a diabetic, this decision will have serious implications for up to 115,000 diabetics here. It was irresponsible of the DPP to bring this case. I ask that the Minister comes to the House as there will be serious implications for diabetics if they cannot drive.
