Last Thursday, I raised the issue of cocaine use in our communities, and the normalisation of the use of cocaine that we have seen creep in in recent years. The reaction that I got over the weekend was one I did not expect. There was an enormous reaction. I received many very difficult phone calls from the heartbroken parents, spouses and siblings of people who have fallen into addiction and on the wrong side of drug dealers, and who have incurred major debts and encountered huge issues. It is that normalisation that is the problem that we really need to face up to and address. I am conscious that there are events unfolding off the coast of Wexford today that may well illustrate just how prevalent this problem is. I ask the Taoiseach to take personal responsibility for fronting up an effort from the Government across all Departments to try to address this problem, because it is literally destroying thousands of lives and the very fabric of our communities around the country.

We could put a few boats on the sea.

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. The Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, in her role as Minister of State with responsibility for the national drugs strategy, leads on this issue, but it is a cross-government effort. We are taking action in terms of increasing services around addiction, which is really important. Drug use has changed and people are addicted to different substances than would have been the case in the past, and polydrug use is a much bigger issue as well. I think we will see that there is a very strong response from the Garda, our Naval Service and others, which is evident off the coast of Wexford today.
