Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, the enforcement of road traffic legislation is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána, in which I have no direct role.
I am informed that the collision report form C(T) 68 currently has a field within it to note the number of drivers breathalysed at the scene of a collision. I understand that a change request has been made by the Assistant Commissioner Roads Policing and Major Event/Emergency Management and IT design to ensure that Dräger Devices numbers and readings are captured.
My Department has sought an update from the Garda authorities, as to whether this change request has been actioned, and I will contact the Deputy directly on receipt of a Garda report in relation to this matter.
