Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I will wait for the recommendations. I will not ask the authority to do a job and then do it myself. It would be wrong to pre-empt the authority, ask them to do something and then decide what it is, irrespective of what the authority believes. It will come back with a strategy which I hope we will all discuss. All or part of it may require legislation, and we will provide that.

I have the latest relevant statistics. Some 84.6% of people tested through blood and urine samples were over the legal limit. What is more interesting is that 53.6% of people were over twice the legal limit.
