Well, that's basically what they are saying!
BreakingNews.ie has an article this morning entitled "Publicans 'seeking compensation for random breath-testing' ". I can't believe it - the Vintners Association of Ireland are claiming that the new random breath testing measures introduced in July are causing losses in rural pubs so they want to be compensated.
Why on earth should we compensate them? Firstly, I can't see how they can be losing money - if people are going to the pub and drinking more soft drinks instead of alcohol then surely they should be making more money as the margins on soft drinks are higher? I mean we regularly pay €2.50 or more for a coca-cola...
Does this basically not smack of them admitting that they used to serve people knowing full well they were driving? Perhaps we should look at suing them for allowing people to drive when over the limit, demanding compensation to give to the families of innocents who lost their lives due to accidents caused by drink drivers over the years?
Especially since Coca-Cola is once again running their Designated Driver campaign for 2006 - if you are the designated driver for 2 or more people then Coca-Cola are giving you 3 drinks for free in participating outlets. See the website for details of pubs near you supporting this offer!
And finally, remember:
