Gardai have promised a major crackdown on drink driving over Christmas despite having budgets slashed and numbers cut.
Intelligence-led policing, including a focus on checkpoints on dangerous roads and at pub closing times, will be used instead of a 'blanket' enforcement approach.
And assistant commissioner John Twomey said yesterday that enforcement would be directed at driving under the influence of drink and drugs, speeding and the non-wearing of seat belts.
He said despite 30 fewer fatalities so far this year compared with the same period in 2010, many families would be eating Christmas dinner without a loved one next week.
