Deputy James Browne: I move amendment No. 8:

In page 5, line 20, after “1924;” to insert the following:

“to amend the Garda Síochána Act 2005 by amending Schedule 5 and by creating regulation-making powers in order to make provision for a testing regime of members and certain other persons to detect the presence of controlled drugs or psychoactive substances in samples provided, to prohibit their presence in specified concentrations other than where exposure in the course of functions or employment occurs and to make provision for disciplinary sanctions relating to these matters;”.

This amends the Long Title to allow the previous amendments to be included in the Bill. The previous Title would not have allowed those amendments in relation to drug-testing.
