Professor David Finn:

I had no hand, act or part in writing the Bill. My reading of that was that the research institute would research the possibility of diversion or recreational use around the medical use of cannabis in Ireland. It would look at whether diversion was happening. I believe it should do that. That is a really important question. If we are to take steps to legalise medical cannabis, someone should look at whether recreational use is increasing or decreasing as a consequence. I am not sure if that is what was intended.
