A Co Cavan councillor has raised his concerns in relation to elderly people who have been left in limbo due to expired driving licences.
Cllr Damien Brady believes the National Driver Licence Service is causing major stress to people over 70 who already feel isolated enough without being stripped of their driving licence.
