Petition calls for alcohol testing of drivers in crashes

GRIEVING families yesterday hand-delivered a 20,000-signature petition to the Transport Minister calling on him to introduce mandatory alcohol testing for all drivers involved in road accidents.

Members of the group Public Against Road Carnage (PARC) protested outside the Dáil before handing their demands into Transport Minister Martin Cullen’s offices.

The petition, collected in Leitrim, follows a separate 20,000-signature petition collected, last July, in Donegal.
