'People who go for their social drink are no danger to road safety'
Owner of the local pub in Donohill in west Tipperary, Cllr John Crosse, said the real dangers on Irish roads were posed by boy racers and/or those driving after taking drugs.
“I’ve no problem with guards being visible in country areas or where there are accident blackspots, but Johnny or Mick or Paddy going home after his half-one and glass of stout is no danger to the safety of people on the roads. I have an issue with boy racers. They’re targeting the wrong areas.
