Drunk Driving Permits Approved By Irish County Might Let Rural Drivers Imbibe, Drive

Councillor Danny Healy-Rae , who spearheaded the motion, claimed that citizens drinking and driving in rural areas had “never killed anyone” and argued that the permits would actually help prevent “a lot of them falling into depression,” reports Irish news site TheJournal.ie.

Healy-Rae also owns a pub in County Kerry, according to the Guardian.

“A lot of these people are living in isolated rural areas where there’s no public transport of any kind, and they end up at home looking at the four walls, night in and night out, because they don’t want to take the risk of losing their licence,” Healy-Rae told TheJournal.ie.

Looks like the U.S. isn’t the only country where the inmates have taken over the asylum.
