In April 2017, An Garda Síochána took on a role in drug testing on the side of our roads. I believe the test is used is the Dräger DrugTest 5000, an oral fluids test. If I understand correctly, it can pick up traces of opiates, cocaine, benzodiazepines and cannabis. The whole world of drugs is evolving by the day. There are pills and small tablets I have never heard of, some of which were discussed on "Prime Time" recently. If that test, dating back to 2017, is what most Garda cards are kitted out with, is it up to date? Is it able to detect everything?
