Cork County Councillor Calls For Change In Clancy Law
The law gives Gardaí the power to seize vehicles driven by unaccompanied learner drivers
The call follows the news that driving test waiting times in Cork can be up to 28 weeks.
The Government introduced the Clancy Amendment at the end of last year, which gives Gardaí the power to seize vehicles driven by unaccompanied learner drivers.
It's named in memory of Geraldine and Louise Clancy, a mother and daughter from Kilworth who were killed by an unaccompanied learner driver three years ago.
Councillor Melissa Mullane says young people are struggling to get to work and college as a result of the new law
