The Head OF the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has hit out at “disgraceful and self-serving” rural TDs over proposed drink-driving legislation.
The comments by Liz O’Donnell come as a bill which would introduce mandatory driving bans for first-time offenders is before the Dáil.
Currently, anyone with a full licence caught driving with an alcohol level between 50mg and 80mg is liable to three penalty points on their licence and a €200 fine.
However, the bill will see an automatic disqualification for drivers on their first offence of driving while over the permitted 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
