The introduction of compulsory breath-testing at road accidents is likely to move a step closer today with the expected passing of the Road Traffic Bill 2011 by the members of Dáil Eireann.
The move comes just days after gardaí warned that there has been a sharp increase in the number of road fatalities this year. To date, 55 people have died on Irish roads, 16 more than in the same period (January 1 to March 22) last year. The increase follows five years in which the number of road fatalities declined.
