32.—(1) Where an officer of the Gárda Síochána not below the rank of superintendent suspects that a person who is the holder of a driving licence is by reason of mental or physical disability unfit to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle, such officer may apply to a Justice of the District Court having jurisdiction in the place in which such person ordinarily resides for an order under this sub-section in respect of such person, and if such Justice is satisfied that such person is by reason of mental or physical disability unfit to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle he may make an order declaring such person to be disqualified by reason of the mental or physical disability specified in such order for holding a driving licence during such period as such Justice shall think proper and shall specify in such order.

(2) A disqualification order made under this section may, if the Court making such order so thinks fit, authorise the person disqualified by such order to apply for a certificate of limited fitness or a certificate of fitness to drive an invalid carriage and, if he obtains such certificate, to receive and hold such driving licence as is permitted by this Act to be granted to a person holding such certificate.
