That is really helpful. The average citizen finds it virtually impossible to comprehend how, when the Garda has a sample that is clearly above the prescribed limit and an individual from whom the sample was taken, that individual could walk out of court, sit into his or her car and drive home. That is most difficult for those who have suffered at the hands or wheel of a drunk driver. We all have that shared responsibility. The Garda's information will be helpful to us in providing the laws that will stand the test of the courts.
