Alone is reacting to European Commission plans that drivers over 70 may have to have regular medical tests and refresher courses to renew their driving licence.
The Journal.ie is reporting that the Taoiseach is against the proposal and that drivers shouldn't be assessed on their age.
Alone CEO Sean Moynihan says Leo Varadkar is right.
