'Nobody caused a fatality by having three glasses of Guinness drank'

Danny Healy-Rae has said that new drink drivings plan are an attack on rural life. He said that many issues lead to road deaths, from road quality to upkeep of hedging. “Our roads aren’t adequate for pedestrians, first off. People aren’t allowed to cut their bushes, so they (pedestrians) are walking halfways out on the road. “And then you have the case where the fella is on his own side of the road after a pint or two or three glasses and some lunatic comes down the road on his own side and runs into him. “It’s the fella with the pint and they half pint who is blamed.” http://jrnl.ie/3325296 TheJournal.ie is an Irish news website that invites its users to shape the news agenda.
