61. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the reason for selecting a device (details supplied) as the roadside kit for drug testing drivers; if An Garda Síochána has been advised that it cannot be used in temperatures under five degrees celsius; the measures which will be taken to ensure accurate testing can occur at night during colder months; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport has advised that the Medical Bureau of Road Safety (MBRS) has statutory responsibility for the approval, supply and testing of the Draeger DrugTest 5000 and is providing training to An Garda Síochána in the use of these devices. As such, I have referred your question to the MBRS for direct reply.
