Don’t put brakes on crackdown

BY any yardstick, the reduction of fatal accidents on Ireland’s roads since the penalty points system came into force 13 months ago represents a dramatic and welcome achievement.

It is fair to say the vigour, determination and political courage of Transport Minister Seamus Brennan in cracking down on drink driving, speeding and other road traffic offences, is paying off. While other ministers are on the receiving end of public criticism, Mr

Brennan deserves every credit for his initiatives.
