Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Velma Burns:
The reason we included those data is we believe it is relevant to look at the number of people killed by a driver or motorcyclist who had a blood alcohol level in the range of 21 mg to 50 mg. That is why we have included that fact in our tabular statement. I know the figure has been questioned. In total, 35 people were killed by a driver or a motorcyclist with a blood alcohol level between 21 mg and 80 mg.
