A High Court challenge over a seven-year disqualification applied in error to a postman's driving licence could have been sorted out through correspondence, a judge has said.

The case concerns Brendan Gannon senior, 63, Galtymore Road, Drimnagh, Dublin, who was told by the National Driving Licence Service (NDLS), when he went to renew his licence last January, that he was disqualified from driving until 2025.
