Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy sought a fair chance to speak. It has not commenced because I do not believe that it is the best way to proceed at the moment. It could give a signal that we are going soft on drink driving involving people with a blood-alcohol content of between 80 milligrams and 100 milligrams. The Deputy's proposal that we introduce this measure would convey the impression that we are going soft and I do not want to do that.
