An Irish council that voted to allow drink-driving has been slammed for dragging the country back to "a darker day"

Quote:
Kerry County Council will now ask Justice Minister Alan Shatter to issue licences that would allow people living in remote countryside to drive home from their nearest pub "after having two or three drinks on little-used roads, driving at very low speeds".
Councillor Danny Healy-Rae, the publican who proposed the motion, claimed the move would "greatly benefit" and even prevent suicide and depression among those who felt isolated because of more stringent drink-driving legislation.

Can you believe this
Trying to justify it by saying it will prevent suicides is just ludicrous
