Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Arising from the comments made yesterday in respect of random breath testing, the Tánaiste is aware that prior to Christmas, we were informed such testing is unconstitutional. Yesterday, however, the Taoiseach said it would now be deemed to be legal. There seems to be some confusion about the information given to the Joint Committee on Transport yesterday by the Garda Commissioner. Will it be necessary to introduce legislation to give effect to random breath testing, which the Taoiseach now says is legal? If so, when is that legislation likely to be produced?
