This legislation will require taxi drivers with certain criminal convictions to apply to the court to maintain their licences. My county is adjacent to counties Monaghan, Meath, Dublin and Louth but, as a Border county, we are also adjacent to counties Down and Armagh. Will applicants from Northern Ireland who have convictions also be covered by the legislation? Will the same provisions apply and will it be possible to trace convictions back to Northern Ireland?
