Road Traffic Bill 2009: From the Seanad
10:00 pm
Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)
The amendment is fine in that respect, but my question is a different one. What is the meaning of the phrase "in the manner indicated by the member"? Has this been defined at any stage? Every garda will have a different instruction for blowing into the apparatus. Is there an agreed manner in which the apparatus should be used? The phrase is mentioned again and again in the Bill. Unless there is agreement on the manner in which the apparatus is to be used, each member of the Garda is likely to tell a driver something different.
