Six or seven of those companies presented to the committee a couple of years ago. I will not start naming them as I will leave some of them out. They had geofencing and something like a breathalyser test before they engage. People can sign a waiver, but it is more than that. There is a sobriety test of some type. That would probably not catch drugs, but it would be for alcohol. However, from next week if a garda sees somebody who looks ten, 11 or 12 years old, they will be pursued.
