46. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reports he has received on roadside drug testing since its implementation; if further legislative measures need to be taken; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7513/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe legislation on preliminary drug testing for road traffic offences is implemented by An Garda Síochána. There is no formal reporting mechanism in place, nor do I intend putting one in place, in respect of the implementation of the legislation.
However, my Department remains in constant contact with An Garda Síochána and the Medical Bureau of Road Safety and no additional legislation in this area have been identified as necessary to date.
