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 Moyagh Murdock:

I will go back again to the fact that we would save lives at this level. If we introduce this measure it will have a demonstrable effect on the roads. The drivers will be safer and it will cascade across the board. We want a consistent message across the board that one cannot drink and drive. We are not advocating zero tolerance at this point in time. I do not suggest that is where we are going.
