Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

1:40 pm

Mr. Pat Crotty:

For the average punter who has never offended and is trying to do right, to get away, as it were, with a penalty and a fine after being caught at between 50 mg and 80 mg will be the most chastening experience ever. That person would never have to be breathalysed again.
