Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion
2:30 pm
Mr. Fintan Towey:
I will ask Professor Cusack to expand on this. Essentially, however, we are looking at a situation where we will need to have an education and information campaign, so that drivers generally are aware there is a potential that they can be impaired as a result of prescribable drugs. There will also be an information campaign which will emphasise the responsibility on health professionals to provide guidance to patients, and other persons to whom they are prescribing drugs, on the possible implications for them when driving.
