I support Senator Ryan's call on dental care. I would go a step further. I have called in this House previously to expand the role of hygienist to potentially increase capacity in the system. I would appreciate it if we could have a further discussion on that in the House.

Today, I acknowledge the report just published by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Drugs Use. It put nine months of extensive work into the report and I look forward to reading the recommendations. From what I have read so far, the committee took a health-led approach to this. I heard Deputy Gannon on RTÉ this morning saying it was up to the Government to enact and fund this because the costings for implementing the report had not been done.

Quite often, I have spoken in this House about resourcing the services that we have at the moment. I have regularly called for more Garda resources in my own region, a region that has not got an allocation in the five previous passings out from Templemore. The right approach to this not a complete U-turn on how we deal with it, but an attempt to resource the gardaí that we have on the ground and give them the opportunity to enforce the law in this regard.

I have often spoken with constituents who feel that drug use is out of control in parts of rural Ireland. Everyone has heard stories that if drug tests were done in some sports clubs at weekends, we would be surprised at the findings. We have all heard stories of knocks on the door after bereavements in areas and people calling in debts that the particular individual who passed away supposedly owed to these individuals.

We have to take a closer look at resourcing the Garda to deal with this problem. We should go a step further and take a closer look at resourcing Customs and Excise as well. I was at a pier on the west coast recently enough. I saw that the drugs strategy on the pier was a sign stapled to the wall telling people to ring a number if they noticed any unusual activity. If that is the sum total of what we are trying to do to prevent drugs coming into some of these rural ports, we need to have a look at that.

I would welcome the opportunity for the House to discuss the current strategy and have a good, heated conversation about what we think could better resolve matters and resource what we have on the ground already.
