My colleague, the Minister for Transport, is responsible for random testing but he must resolve legal issues first. Subject to those issues being resolved I strongly support this approach.

It is not a human rights issue. Other countries do not have our lobbyists.

Deputy Gormley's party leader is quite competent to deal with his own questions.
