Covid-19 (Taoiseach): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-27
============================================================

Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

Driver testing is a livelihood issue for people in rural Ireland, as opposed to in urban Ireland where more public transport is available. A lot of young people need to sit their driver's tests to get a licence to get to work. Perhaps social distancing is not even being observed to get them to where they need to be. Is there any possibility of reinstating driver testing in cases of need, particularly in rural Ireland?
