Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

We have established a dedicated traffic corps, headed by an assistant commissioner, and invested in a huge roads programme. The Driver Testing and Standards Authority Bill will lead to a fully resourced body for driver testing and training. The adoption of changes in the circumstances of random breath testing, where the driver of a vehicle can be made the subject of preliminary roadside breath testing, has been the subject of considerable debate and consideration. The road safety regulations will be amended to deal with those issues, which have now been finalised.
