Ivor Callely (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)

It is important to draw the attention of Members to my comments on this matter on Second Stage. I went into it in some detail and I will not go over the ground I covered other than to draw attention to Parts 9 and 10, which set out the detailed regime for the testing of safety-critical workers. In particular, Part 10 includes provision for breath testing and for blood and urine tests following a breath test. To answer the question posed directly, Part 10 makes provision for this.

I take the point raised by the other Members on the importance of safety and compliance with the legislation in terms of intoxication at any level.
