Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion
Ms Aisling Dunne:
I will just say one other thing which is that we also have that drunk recognition, which is a very important tool in the app where, if someone tries to unlock the vehicle between prescribed hours which have been decided by the council or the Department, that they must undertake this test. If they fail it, what we do in other cities is that we nudge them towards a taxi or a safer mode of transport. The value of having the services continuing to operate in the evening is that they provide an affordable way home for people who have to work shifts or must work at night and that is what we are trying to do. I thank the Chairman.
