Dr. Eamon Keenan:

That was a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-MS, machine which is able to analyse these new drugs. The benefit of that was shown last Friday when we got a tablet from Limerick, which had a synthetic opioid in it, and we were able to analyse that and put an alert out on Friday night. That was really important.
