Healy-Rae defends call for 'drink-drive permits'

Kerry County Councillor Danny Healy-Rae has defended his call for rural people to be given permits that would allow them to drink "two or three pints" and drive afterwards.

Councillor Healy Rae's motion was passed at a meeting yesterday by a margin of five votes to three. The rest of the councillors were either absent or abstained.
