Ms Michelle Martyn:

Not a lot of research has been carried out in Ireland on addiction and we definitely need to focus on the area. Last year's review by the Irish Prison Service and the Probation Service stated that 60% to 80% of those who undertook treatment completed it and 50% returned to training and education. One third would have achieved full recovery, one third would have managed addiction safely and the final third would have relapsed. Those are the figures from that review of the drug treatment-----
