Byrne favours more enforcement over lower blood/alcohol limit

Chairman of the Road Safety Authority Gay Byrne has said that he would favour greater enforcement of existing drink driving legislation rather than the lowering of the blood/alcohol limit, according to reports this morning.

His comments come on the day that a freedom of information request by Fine Gael spokesperson on Transport Fergus O’Dowd revealed correspondence from the Department of Health to the Department of Transport which expressed disappointment at legislation to reduce the blood alcohol limit not being included as part of the Government's road safety initiative
