Pat O'Neill (Fine Gael)

Senator Heffernan has outlined everything I wished to say on the amendment. I understand the spirit of Senator Barrett's amendment. A two-day rule would be impractical because as the Minister has pointed out, somebody could be going away for a weekend, have a work commitment or be attending a funeral. Someone without his or her licence could be stopped on the way to the airport and staying away for a week. I know some people might need to bring a licence when travelling with Ryanair. I know the Minister has suggested that ten days is too long, but two days is too short.
