I support the amendments tabled by Deputy Troy and Deputy Munster. I did not get a chance to attend Committee Stage but on Second Stage we had discussion on this and the Minister came back on it. Quite clearly, the drugs in the existing Schedule are some of the most widely used. Given the crisis at the moment, the increased casualties on the roads, what we know has been happening and the fact we could have begun the process of drug driving testing a decade ago, the wider amendments are the right way to go.
