Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

Testing is carried out in many cases for the purposes of prosecution, but I seek testing for the purposes of information on which to base policy. People think accidents are caused by drink driving and speeding. Perhaps this is true, but we should seek to ascertain to what extent this is the case. I would like this amendment to be accepted. It seems nonsensical that we can stop and test innocent people but those involved in an accident may not be tested.
