Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Apr 2017)

Imelda Munster: County Louth has seen the highest increase in rents at over 17%. I raised this issue with the Taoiseach several months ago when I asked him to include Louth in the rent pressure zones. It appears that the Taoiseach has not acted on that. I also made him aware that there were over 4,000 people on the housing list in County Louth, that there is a chronic shortage of private rental...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)

Imelda Munster: The LVA said it was of the opinion that current penalties were sufficiently severe. How do they weigh that view against the fact that people continue to drink and drive? The witnesses acknowledged there was an increase in young people drinking and driving and outlined why they thought this was the case. I agree that the lack of enforcement and resources in the Garda traffic corps have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)

Imelda Munster: Mr. O'Keeffe said he felt the current penalties were sufficiently severe. I wanted a response to the fact that these penalties were not working. Does he not think that drink-driving costs lives and is such a serious matter that every effort should be made to drive the message home? The current penalties are not working but Mr. O'Keeffe feels they are sufficiently severe.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)

Imelda Munster: That is not what I was saying. As a publican, if a customer came into Ms Devitt's pub and she had seen him park the car outside and if he ordered a second and third pint, at what stage would she tell him she could not serve him?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)

Imelda Munster: That is grand. I thank the witness for her answer. I just wanted to know from her point of view as a publican, at what stage would she intervene. I think the Vintners Federation of Ireland said that a lot of its customers are members of the community; they are neighbours and neighbours' children. I am just wondering if Ms Devitt's neighbour, or her neighbour's son or daughter, parked the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)

Imelda Munster: As I said at the start, I do not disagree with the witnesses on the lack of traffic corps enforcement. I have raised the issue with the Minister myself and have said the very same thing. People can go out and drink-drive in the full knowledge that there is not a chance of them being stopped. That still does not address those who willingly drink and drive, whether they do so because they...
