Danny Healy-Rae has weighed in on the drink driving debate.
The Kerry TD stated that the state of the Irish roads are the main cause for road fatalities and not drink driving.
Healy-Rae is opposing new laws on drink driving that will replace the penalty point and fine for first time offenders with a three month driving ban.
Danny said: “Two glasses, or three glasses of Guinness will not cause anyone to have a fatality.”
“If we’re going to go down that round, the next thing will be … the cough bottle, or the medicines … that they will be the cause of the accident as well.
“So look – get real about it, check out those figures, because I know what I’m talking about is the truth.”
