My final point concerns rural isolation. It relates to the rule that people in rural areas cannot drive to a pub and have two or three pints. I highlighted this three years ago. A permit for certain people should be allowed on certain roads in isolated areas in order that they are able to have two or two and a half pints and drive. If they break the rules of their permit, they should face the full rigours of the law but there should be some facility. Many of these people will not know that their neighbours down the road are dead but for the fact that Kerry Radio has a deaths announcement every morning.
