The Road Traffic Bill 2009, which is currently before the Dáil for Second Stage consideration, amends driving licence provisions to ensure that penalty points and disqualifications can be applied to non-national driving licences and to give the Gardaí powers to seize a licence where the driver has been disqualified or where the licence has been fraudulently obtained or is forged or altered.
