Drug dealing and citizens' assembly

Summary

Deputy McAuliffe asks when the citizens' assembly on drug use will be brought forward and seeks stronger policing of open drug dealing hotspots.

Earlier this week, I attended a meeting of school principals and a family resource centre about how open drug dealing is impacting the services they provide in the community. We all saw the "Prime Time" programme on open drug dealing in Ballymun. My question relates to the programme for Government. When will the citizens' assembly on drug use be brought forward and will the Tánaiste and the Minister for Justice engage with the Garda Commissioner about the policing of open drug dealing hotspots in places like Finglas and Ballymun?
