Mr. Phil Donohue:

I support Deputy Kenny's support for the Bill. Applying the provisions across the public transport sector and the road freight sector and making it applicable to all would certainly make it far easier to get a group of people in a particular workplace to accept the policy. The absence of the legislation was a stumbling block within Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann when we were trying to negotiate for random testing in the workplace. If we can get in place legislation that will overcome that, it will be far easier to apply these testing procedures.
