Random solution to breath tests and speed

WE have more entertainment from the Martin Cullen show - a grandiose declaration of new powers for gardaí to do random breath tests, although the majority of those being tested at present escape penalties with the aid of a good solicitor.

Now if he had reversed his plans and privatised random breathtesting, and left the speed cameras to the gardaí (and the McDowell fusiliers), we would believe that the Fianna Fáil were moving beyond the propaganda stage and doing our citizens and the State some service at last.
