Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Apr 2015)

Dessie Ellis: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. We have had a lot of discussion on this, but the thing about which I feel most concern is the question of making employers responsible for testing their employees. That is a very difficult thing to do, because if someone took cocaine it would be very difficult for an employer to have a mechanism to test them. We need to be very careful not to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Apr 2015)

Dessie Ellis: I do not think it is necessarily saying that blanket rules would apply but it is saying that in clearly defined residential areas a local authority could bring them in. If someone is doing 30, 40 or 50 km/h in a 20 km/h zone, we know that the fatalities go up. One is, therefore, putting a situation in place whereby one can gauge that a person must have been going at a certain speed and he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (16 Apr 2015)

Dessie Ellis: I thank the officials from the Department and the representatives from the medical bureau for coming here. It is disappointing in many ways, because we are all worried about road safety, that there is an issue regarding mutual recognition of disqualifications North and South. A problem exists, although we are reaching some sort of agreement with the UK. When we spoke to the Minister in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (16 Apr 2015)

Dessie Ellis: Would the test screen for drugs and alcohol or would they be done separately? If it were being done twice a year, I assume one test could test for drugs and alcohol. It is putting great emphasis on an employer, especially somebody who took cocaine. While one might notice if a person were drunk - they would be falling all over the place or there might be other signs - one would not notice...
