Road Traffic and Transport Bill 2006

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Bill would make drink-driving enforcement more straightforward by removing an extra Garda assessment before evidential testing and allowing designated nurses to take blood or urine samples at Garda stations. It would also put the Transport Minister’s power to license road haulage and passenger-transport operators on a clear legal footing, requiring applicants to have a good reputation, adequate finances and professional competence.

Formal long title
