We need to work together to achieve the ultimate goal of reducing the incidence of drink driving. Regardless of what we do we will never eliminate road accidents. Unfortunately, that is not a possibility but we can bring forward legislation to help to reduce and minimise accidents. In that context, has the Licensed Vintners Association or the Vintners Federation of Ireland ever supported proposed or enacted legislation brought forward by any Government to amend, modify, enhance or improve drink driving law?
