Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Pat O'Neill (Fine Gael)
There are no mixed messages. The Minister's Bill equates to zero tolerance as all research has shown that one drink will put a person over the limit and facing the graduated penalties of three penalty points and a fine of €200, with stiffer penalties if the blood alcohol level is above 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. I ask people in the House to vote against the Senator's amendment.
