Gardaí support our drink-drive campaign

YOUR correspondent Sinéad Shannon of Alcohol Action Ireland (Letters, December 20) seeks to repeat the by now fairly standard misrepresentation of MEAS (Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society) which is being attempted by a few regular sources.

Gardaí support our drink-drive campaign

For the record, the designated driver campaign organised by MEAS last Christmas, and again this year, is supported by an Garda Siochána, the National Safety Council, the Automobile Association, the publican organisations (Licensed Vintners Association and Vintners Federation of Ireland), the off-licence organisation (NOffLA), and the wider drinks industry, including the soft drinks sector.

The MEAS campaign wants to get people who are socialising during the Christmas period to designate a member of their group to refrain from drinking alcohol so they can drive everyone home safely.
