Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

The law on drink driving has been recently dealt with in this House and amended. The Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, keeps it constantly under review. Deputy Hayes will appreciate from today's and yesterday's newspapers that Garda enforcement has been escalated dramatically. The size of the road traffic corps is increasing dramatically. I am not in a position to say if any further legislation is contemplated on the particular issue the Deputy raised as to whether everybody involved in every accident should be compulsorily breath tested. That issue would require reflection.
