The Medical Bureau of Road Safety, which is under the aegis of the Department of Transport, has statutory responsibility for the testing, approval and supply of roadside breath screening devices to An Garda Síochána.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that Garda management is satisfied that there are sufficient roadside breath-screening devices available to meet current operational needs. Such devices are available to members of An Garda Síochána in all Garda Divisions and are carried in Garda vehicles as appropriate. The availability of such devices is kept under constant review in conjunction with the Medical Bureau of Road Safety.
