The Government's legislation to lower the drink-driving limit even further will be one of the first items dealt with in the new Dail term.
The Road Traffic (No 2) Bill is one of 30 priority bills in the Fine Gael-Labour coalition's legislative programme for the autumn session.
It will bring in a new breath-test limit of 50mg of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, down from 80mg, which is the equivalent of drinking less than one pint of beer.
Motorists caught just over the new drink-driving limit will be hit with penalty points and a €220 on-the-spot fine instead of losing their licence.
