New laws to tackle drink-driving could be on the cards.
Transport Minister Shane Ross believes 'dramatic ways' of tackling the issue could be needed, like changing penalties and offence times, because it's a 'huge problem'.
He's been speaking in an interview with the Irish Examiner, and also described the spike in road deaths last year as 'calamitous'.
187 people died last year – 25 more than in 2015.
