Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I welcome the insertion of this provision by the Minister. The Minister referred to the 1994 Act. Does that incorporate the consequential disqualification sections of the 1961 Act? Does it supersede all the previous legislation? I welcome that it will be in place as soon as possible.

Since the Bill was passed in the Dáil previously, several critical media articles have appeared on the coming into force of the 0.05% blood alcohol limit. When does the Minister expect all the equipment to be in place and when will the provisions of this historic Bill, which we will pass finally tonight, be enforced on the roads of Ireland?
