Taoiseach's election pledge to PARC 03.05.07

The Public Against Road Carnage (PARC) group received an election pledge from the Taoiseach yesterday.
Culdaff-based PARC chairperson, Susan Gray, told InishowenNews.com that Mr. Ahern had written to her saying Fianna Fail would implement the group's proposals "without delay" if re-elected.
He wrote: "I agree with all involved in PARC that we cannot rest on our laurels or become complacent.
"Any death on our roads is a needless death. Taking account of the concerns raised by PARC, Fianna Fail recognise the need to introduce compulsory drink and drug driving for drivers involved in accidents causing injury.
"If re-elected we will ensure that these changes are implemented without delay."
PARC was set up in Inishowen in 2006 and already has many branches throughout Ireland.
The group wants the Republic to follow the lead of the North where it is PSNI policy that all drivers involved in accidents are required to submit to a preliminary test either at the scene or later in hospital.
