Amendments Nos. 48 to 51, inclusive, aim to rectify an omission in the Bill concerning the application of mandatory disqualification in the case of a person with a conviction for offences which correspond to the road traffic offences specified in section 28(3). For example, a person with a corresponding road traffic conviction from Northern Ireland who has an application for or holds a PSV licence in the State will be subject to mandatory disqualification under section 28. This corrects an anomaly and provides a basis for fair treatment of nationals and non-nationals.
