Mr. Jim Breslin:

It is not an easy area in which to establish reliable information. The Health Research Board, which conduct a drug prevalence study, goes to great lengths because we are trying to establish rates of illicit use. If we just ask people in a shopping centre, they are not going to tell us the answer. A lot of methodology was put behind that in the prevalence study. I do not have them to hand but we can supply them to the Deputy. The biggest drugs that come through that study do not involve the use of needles; they are cannabis, cocaine and so on. We can try to extract out of that relevant information the Deputy might be interested in and supply it to him.
