“County officials in southwest Ireland have voted to loosen drunk driving restrictions for certain older, rural constituents. The BBC reported that county councilors in Kerry County, Ireland have backed legislation that would allow police to issue citations exempting certain drivers from normal restrictions on driving under the influence. Councillor Danny Healy-Rae, the motion’s sponsor, said the law is intended to apply to ‘older people’ who ‘are being isolated now at home, and a lot of them falling into depression.’”
