Road Traffic Bill 2011: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)
I support Senator Ryan. I referred to this issue in my contribution on Second Stage. Why does section 2(6) make it clear that the provision to which Senator Ryan refers applies only to a person to whom subsection (1)(a) applies? The next section applies to someone affected by subsection (1)(d). What about a person who commits an offence under section 2(1)(b) or (c)? If the garda suspects a person has committed an offence under section 2(1)(c), does the garda have discretion to decide whether he or she will test the person concerned because it may be prejudicial to his or her health?
