Summary
Deputy Ó Ríordáin asked when the promised citizens' assembly on drugs would take place, amid concern about the spiralling drugs crisis. The Minister of State said it was being initiated and was due early in the new year.
Next week, the Labour Party will bring forward a Private Members' motion on the issue of drugs and the decriminalisation of the drug user. The Government has promised a citizens' assembly on drugs for early next year. Is the Tánaiste in a position to clarify when the proposed citizens' assembly on drugs will take place? It is needed. In many communities, the drugs crisis is spiralling out of control.
