Amharc ar fhreagraArrangements are being put in place to train 220 members in An Garda Síochána in evidential breath testing. I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the training course scheduled for 16 October 2012 had to be postponed. This postponement was agreed in consultation with staff from the Medical Bureau of Road Safety. It is envisaged that this course will now be delivered in late November 2012.
