District court judge questions legality of hotel courtesy cars after Xiu Lan Hotels Ltd. conviction.
A district court judge has cast doubt on the legality of hotel courtesy cars, stating that the issue may need to be addressed in the High Court. This comes after Xiu Lan Hotels Ltd., operator of the Fota Island Resort in County Cork, was convicted by the National Transport Authority for operating a courtesy car where the driver did not have a license to drive a small public service vehicle. The defense barrister, Brian Hallissey, argued that since the practice of providing courtesy cars is common throughout the country, this decision could impact hotels across Ireland.
