Mr. O'Keeffe said he felt the current penalties were sufficiently severe. I wanted a response to the fact that these penalties were not working. Does he not think that drink-driving costs lives and is such a serious matter that every effort should be made to drive the message home? The current penalties are not working but Mr. O'Keeffe feels they are sufficiently severe.
