Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Negligent and Drunken Driving.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he has any plans to review the law on drunken driving especially in cases involving a death; and if he considers that further mandatory penalties might prove effective in reducing the carnage on our roads.
I propose to take Question Nos. 13 and 28 together.
The road traffic law is currently under review in the context of a Road Traffic Bill which I intend to bring before the House in 1987, and I am prepared to consider any submissions or views which may be relevant in that regard.
