Mr. Michael Finn:

To be fair to the Medical Bureau for Road Safety, it has been very helpful to us and it was instrumental in unearthing the difficulties that we encountered. However, it does not see itself as a custodian of Garda breath test devices. It would be adamant in saying, and we would acknowledge, that it is not its responsibility to count how many breath tests we carry out. That is within our remit and we have changed our IT system to ensure we can be the masters of that, rather than having to go to the Medical Bureau for Road Safety. The bureau would not see that as its remit.
