Mr. Seán Quigley:

Our priorities are to ensure that the laboratory in UCD is performing to the highest level. That means investing in our staff, making sure they are adequately trained, and in equipment. There is a constant regular programme of upgrading the staff and equipment. Our priorities remain the same, namely, to implement the legislative remit we have and support the Government's road traffic strategy. This primarily means supporting An Garda Síochána and providing it with the best equipment. There have been developments in that in the past number of years where it is now more efficient and effective for gardaí when they stop someone to detect the presence of drugs or alcohol.
