Road Traffic Bill 2006: Committee Stage.
12:00 pm
Pat Gallagher (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)
The implementation of this provision would be a matter for the Garda Commissioner who would delegate authority, and guidelines will be drawn up to assist in this regard. Such testing will be totally random. This is a matter for the Garda. It will have to use its resources to the full. There will be times of the day, weekend or year that the incidence of such testing will be much higher than other times. We should leave flexibility in that respect to the Garda Commissioner, with a view to ensuring this measure would be effective. We are trying to find the right balance.
