Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety

2:00 am

Mr. Seán Quigley:

The director and the staff are constantly researching and studying what is happening in other jurisdictions and we share that with politicians. We had the Minister of State visit the lab back in April and we hope that the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, will visit in the near future. I would say it is a collaborative process in working with the Garda, the Department, the Road Safety Authority and others. The work we are doing in the alcohol ignition interlock area has huge potential. That is an area in which it will be good to see progress in line with what is happening in other European countries.
