Fine Gael have a hard on for Drugs testing and searching.

What is it with Fine Gael and random Drug testing and searches. Do they have shares in it of something. Their usual hobby horse drug testing is schools has been around for about a year which has very little research supporting the notion that it works. But now they have moved on to clubs. Gardaí should mount random drug searches at nightclubs. They say

If traces of cocaine are found at a venue then the owner should expect serious consequences.

Now considering that traces have beenfound in the Dail should they apply the same logic?

Gardaí should mount random searches of customers outside known nightclubs and pubs in order to root out cocaine use.

Shouldn’t by the same logic Gardai should be searching politicians coming out of the Dail?

Or are they immune because they are politicians. Where is Fine Gael’s call to have themselves searched and tested? Oh wait being searched and tested for drugs isn’t the niced thing to be done.

But I am sure in the interests of the nation Messers Kenny and Flanagan would have no problem having these things done. I await their drug test Dail Eireann policy paper very soon. (no emoticon can express this amount of sarcasm)

    Ah Jesus.

    It’s been years since I was able to walk into a pub in any part of this country where a quick finger wipe of a flat surface didn’t reveal traces of coke. And it never fails to surprise me. Even the oldest of the old man pubs, there’s a decent chance that you’ll find some.

    Clearly, Fine Gael are trying to push Fianna Fail to shoot themselves in the foot. Imagine the protests outside the Dail if every pub in Ireland was shut down!
