I propose to take Questions Nos. 19, 28, 43 and 53 together.
I published the Road Traffic Bill 2009 on Friday 30 October 2009. It provides for the lowering of the legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) from 80 mg of alcohol (per 100 ml of blood) to 20 mg for learner, novice and professional drivers, and from 80 mg of alcohol (per 100 ml of blood) to 50 mg for other drivers.
The Bill also provides for preliminary impairment testing to assist the Garda in forming an opinion that the driver is or is not under the influence of an intoxicant (drink or drugs). It also includes amendments to the fixed charge and penalty point systems, including the option of payment of a fixed charge on receipt of a summons for the offence.
The safety camera project and road traffic enforcement are matters for my colleague the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
While the RSA's advertising and campaign budgets were reduced for 2009, as a result of cuts imposed across all Departments and agencies, it will continue to implement its programme of road safety awareness, education and research.
In relation to the Road Safety Strategy, I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 40.
