Anton SavageHOST
Alcohol Action Ireland is going to today recommend to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration that they reduce alcohol trading hours, among a series of other measures, trying to combat the role that alcohol plays in public order problems, in broader health and civil order issues, and in unprovoked assaults, the sort of so-called one-punch assaults.
Anton SavageHOST
Dr. Sheila Gilheany is with us, CEO of Alcohol Action Ireland.
Anton SavageHOST
And Sheila, Before we get into what it is that you're recommending to the Oireachtas Committee, we were speaking earlier on to Michael Healy-Ray, and he was commenting about the RSA's plan to spend one and a half million quid to put breathalysers in pubs and golf clubs and hotels so people can have a drink and then check if they're sober enough to drive.
Anton SavageHOST
And it's been described by the Social Democrats as a sharp turn away from zero tolerance when it comes to drink driving.

Sheila discusses attitudes towards driving under the influence.
Sheila GilheanySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There has been a, an improvement.
Sheila GilheanySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And, and the reason for that is obviously as well, you know, different people have different heights, different body size, male, female, different time that it takes to process alcohol.
Sheila GilheanySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You really can't be sure that even one drink wouldn't put you over the limit, so the absolute safest thing to do is to not drink at all.
