Vol. 450 No. 6

Written Answers. - Numbers Breathalysed.

Ivor Callely

Question:

136 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Justice the total number of motorists and motorcyclists breathalysed in November 1994, December 1994, January 1995 and February 1995; the number who tested positive; the comparative figures for November 1993, December 1993, January 1994 and February 1994; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5512/95]

The Garda authorities have informed me that the numbers of persons breathalysed over the periods nominated are as follows:

Month

Breathalysed

November, 1993

1,595

November, 1994

1,567

December, 1993

4,985

December, 1994

3,259

January, 1994

1,415

January, 1995

1,018

February, 1994

1,238

The figure for February, 1995 is not yet available. Moreover, I am informed that the above figures represent the total of those breathalysed in each month, and that separate figures as between motorists and motorcyclists are not available.
Similary, there are no figures readily available for the numbers of those breathalysed who tested positive.
