A strong linkage has always existed between drunken driving and the number of deaths on our roads. But it was ignored by vested interests. Now, arising from more intense enforcement measures by the Garda Síochána, the number of road deaths has fallen to its lowest level in more than 50 years. That is a major achievement and should not be put at risk by those who complain about the negative effects drink-driving laws are having on social life in rural Ireland and on the pub trade in particular.
