Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

My personal view, and I believe that of the Deputy, is that the issue concerns enforcement and the belief that one may be caught. It will clearly involve a culture change. People will need to see that it is no longer acceptable in Irish society to go out on the road half out of one's mind with drink, risking one's own life among others. We must get that message through, as we have in other areas of Irish society which have seen total change in fixed positions on a range of social policy over the years. Mindsets have definitively been changed, and I hope we change our mindset in our attitude to drink driving and speeding.
