14 Sep 2026Tá4.17 RANDOM SCREENING OF TD'S, SENATORS AND COUNCILLORS“That Sligo County Council write to the AILG AND LAMA and the Ceann Comhairle of Dail Eireann and the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Eireann, to explore random screening of TD's, Senators and Councillors to ensure that no member is under the influence of Drugs or Alcohol when decisions are being taken. Sports people have been subject to these tests for years and political leaders should be subject to the same scrutiny to ensure that decisions are taken with clear minds and that illegal drugs are not being taken. This would add to public confidence in politics and acceptance that these rules apply to everyone equally”.Carried 8–0
