Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway Gardai have carried out less than two dozen roadside drug tests since the practice was introduced 18 months ago.
Figures released in a Dáil response to Deputy Tommy Broughan reveal huge discrepancies in areas across the country.
While 268 drug-tests were recorded in Co. Kildare since April 2017 - just 3 tests were carried out in Co. Louth during the same period.
Gardai across Galway conducted just 22 drug driving tests in the past 18 months - compared to over 28 thousand breath tests.
The revelation follows a high-profile media campaign warning motorists of the dangers of drug-driving - and the chances of getting caught.
Conor Faughnan of AA Ireland says it's a pity the tests are not happening in larger numbers.
