Ross denies receiving AG advice on PSC use

Transport Minister Shane Ross has denied he received any advice from the Attorney General before deciding to pull the Public Services Card (PSC) as a requirement for getting a driving licence, despite saying the opposite on the Dáil record last year.

In response to a parliamentary question on the subject from Sinn Féin TD John Brady, Mr Ross this week said that “no formal advice was sought from the Office of the Attorney General in respect of this decision”.
