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 accept fully that this is the Chairman's opinion. My opinion is that it will deter people from drinking and driving in the first place. Hence, they will not be stopped, will not be involved in crashes and will not be appearing in court. If anything, this will reduce the challenges in court because people will not take the chance.
