Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána
Ms Paula Hilman:
Yes. Our detections have increased for various reasons. Before the drug wipe test was introduced, Professor Cusack of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety released many of the machines we had been using and we moved those into our vehicles. Once we had them more mobile and more accessible, we started seeing detections increase. In case committee members have not seen it, the wipe test is like a Covid test.
