TESTING IS CURRENTLY underway on a number of devices that will allow gardaí to test a driver’s saliva for the presence of drugs in their system at the roadside.
The Department of Transport said today that the The Medical Bureau of Road Safety (MBRS) went to tender last year to source suitable devices for this use. “Extensive testing” is taking place before a tenderer is chosen.
The department said legislation will be working its way through the parliamentary process at the same time. Everything is “on target”, it said, to have the new devices and the back-up legislation in place towards the end of 2015.
This week, figures for 2014 showed road deaths rose for the second year in a row. The number of children killed on the roads last year also doubled.

I hope they have him. Fair dues to the police reaction in Spain.
Finland saying it is closely watching around 350 suspected militants. The time is surely coming to lift these people and deport them. If they are native intern them. They must be removed from civilized society.
@KerryBlueMike: aye, like the Skibbereen Eagle with its eye on the Czar of Russian.
@KerryBlueMike: the only person that needs interment is you and probably a bunch of other loonies on this comment section with crazy ideas about how society should work
Great news if true. I hope he resisted arrest and got a good kicking.
@Reg:
Quite possible that he could trip and bang his head in the paddy wagon all right.
The Russians have the right idea, Liquidate……
@Kate Flaherty: and bang goes a lot of potential intelligence and evidence with the liquidation.
@Paul Fahey: and what other way is their of defeating these people?
@Paul Fahey: as if these fundamentalists will divulge anything in the first place, their minds are firmly fixated on their eternal reward……
@Paul Fahey: capture them alive then watch SJW’s start whinging when they’re harshly interrogated.
You won’t get any intelligence from this pig excrement. Extermination is the only way. Save a lot of bother.
@Daithi De Roiste: there’s nothing to beat a nice cup of tea so.
@Paul Fahey: omar khadar was disgracefully awarded 10.5 million dollars even though he was a proven terrorist in Canada because he was interrogated and tortured. These people deserve death, not reward or compensation.
@Kate Flaherty: The legal eagles like them to be captured so as they can represent them and send the bill to the paid by the citizens taxes. The Russians have the right approach, no pussy footing there.
@Paul Fahey: Would you try and handcuff a nutter and murderer wearing a possible bomb?
@James Doyle: agreed!….
Excellent work by the police
Any bets that he was not Amish?
@George Vladisavljevic: You got to watch those Amish … dangerous guys.
@B9xiRspG: their notorious for ride by shootings!
At 5h25 Spanish time, the guy is lying face down on the ground with a remote-controlled robot being used to remove what may be a bomb belt. It isn’t known if he is alive or dead yet. Nobody is approaching that close for the moment.
@Frank Mccluskey: Godspeed Johnny 5
@Frank Mccluskey: If they shot him in the head and he screams that will prove that he was alive….
@Liam flag: he’s not going anywhere near God
@Emer Caffrey: Don’t robots have souls?
@Emer Caffrey: Or Virgins !
Pr1ck. Well done to the Cops!
Im waiting for the leftwing libtards to start complaining about excessive force been used to rid the earth of this lowlife
@Kevin Moylan: this mute function is great. There’s Casper gone off my feed now. Great way of culling half wits.
@Ronan Sexton: nice I like it when I hit a nerve
@Kevin Moylan: luckily the bomb blew up the house before they went out in the van as there was a lorry load of gas cylinders recovered
Shooting this guy brown bread is exactly what this fella wanted.
Should have been shot in the arm and legs and went through the justice system & thrown in jail where Spanish inmates would have “looked” after him.
@Johnny Kelly: I can read yes. False vest. They are always false. I stand by not shooting them dead, a bomb robot is used either way so police in no danger if the vest was real.
Extermination is the only way with these pests. Liquidize them on sight.
@Gavin Mckenna: I hope he enjoyed his brown bread
Confirmation!
URGENTE: Fuentes policiales confirman que el hombre abatido es Younes Abouyaaqoub, el terrorista que mató a 13 personas con una furgoneta en Las Ramblas
Good riddance
Good riddance…….only regret a bit too quick…
@James B: agree he has to be my quickest mute I’ve had on here saw the flag and first sentence of his comment was enough for me.
@TonyD2469: Thank you. We’ve had enough of seeing that flag recently to last us a lifetime.
@James B: Are you talking about me?
@Liam flag: Who are you? You only setup your twitter account today!
@Liam flag: the confederate flag!
@owentighe: Em… no I didn’t… Liam flag is my real name. Me da got me ma up the pole, then I popped out. Hence my middle name, flag. Duh
@izzy skint: Nobody will ever take you seriously with that disgraceful flag as an avatar. Sorry.
You’re making legitimate critics of Islam and mass uncontrolled immigration look stupid.
@izzy skint: I’m not offended, I just think you’re an utter hypocrite.
Going on about the lack of freedom and equality in Islam whilst glorifying a pro-slavery pseudo state… you’re a walking contradiction.
Having that flag beside your name makes every legitimate criticism of Islamic barbarism you provide absolutely hollow.
@Liam flag: Smart arse!
May all of his vested virgins have the clap. Vile waste of space.
@Eddie Byrne: Did you know that Muslim academics have been researching and debating whether the translation should be 72 raisins, not virgins?! I kid you not. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/jan/12/books.guardianreview5
@BronaCon:
Whatever about 72 hurs, 80,000 servants is over egging the heavenly pudding a bit.
@BronaCon: 72 raisins would be a tasty snack and a plausible reward for deeds done in the afterlife.
It’s the 78 virgins I feel sorry for
I hope he died screaming while emptying his bowels in his shorts.
@Jimmy Ireland: Are you sure that you couldn’t be more explicit?
Toe rag.
FYI, Mossos d’Esquadra (the Catalan police) also tweet in Englsih https://twitter.com/mossos/status/899668568958173185
The comment section was good today.
Just saw a picture of this vermin with half his face missing. Great work by the police here.
Delighted. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope he suffered terribly. Serves him right
Our taxi in the med needs to brought home and a another better solution needs to be found other wise it will never go away Africa needs to solve it’s own problems.
Hope they get him dirty f00ken animal
@johnp: Pretty sure they got him already.
All of these deluded young men should have been brought to justice not killed like dogs. If we sink to their level then we are no better and playing into the hands of those who orchestrated this behind the scene. One thing for sure Spain is a serious target now so be warned if you go there.
@Brendan Keegan: Nonsense, exterminate, exterminate.
I really hope our gardai are as well trained and prepared, gardai seem to be a reactionary force
don’t just to conclusions or so the idiots say.
?
Great news! The Spanish move fast. I often wonder how our own police force would react if put in a similar situation. Lessons to be learned here!
have your say
