Irish rural grorup opposes cuts in drink-driving limits

Dublin- A lobby group campaigning on rural issues has claimed reducing the drink-driving limit could have serious consequences for mental health in rural Ireland.
Irish Rural Link says it supports efforts to improve road safety, but it says rural transport links need to be improved before any cuts are made in the blood alcohol limit.
The group, which is holding its annual conference in Cork today, says reducing the limit would force rural people to stay at home and increase feelings of loneliness and isolation.
