I agree that speeding is a major issue. The Oireachtas must move on enforcement because 186 deaths per year is unacceptable. As Deputy Fitzpatrick said, though, alcohol is a factor in a significant proportion of those deaths. It is another element for our consideration.

Mr. Cribben mentioned the RSA's report and the percentages at the various levels. In practice, is there not a fundamental connection between the 51 mg to 80 mg level and the higher levels?
