Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Will the Taoiseach say whether he has spoken to the President of the European Council in regard to the nomination of a Commissioner from Ireland to the European Commission, and could he indicate when he intends to make his choice known?

In respect of the proposal by the Minister for Transport to reduce the drink limit on driving from 80 to 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, I understand that this morning the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform said on his local radio station, LMFM, that the situation in the Republic would have to be compatible with that in Northern Ireland. Will the Taoiseach say whether this is true and if the proposed Bill will not be introduced by the Minister until there is compatibility between the two jurisdictions in this regard? In other words, is the Minister for Transport's Bill dependent on there being an equivalent alcohol limit in Northern Ireland?
