Drink-driving Bill
Deputy Tony McLoughlin called for urgent progress on the road traffic fixed-penalty drink-driving Bill. The Taoiseach said he expected the heads of the Bill in about six weeks.
I am sure the Taoiseach will agree drink-driving is one of the most dangerous offences in this country and it is one which leads to many road fatalities. It is an offence which should result in an automatic driving ban for those convicted. On this basis, does the Taoiseach agree that the road traffic, fixed penalty notice, drink-driving Bill is urgently needed and will he update the House on its progress?
