Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Substance Misuse and its Impact on Communities: Discussion

Ms Grace Hill:

I just wish to add to what Mr. Hamilton said in response to Deputy Lahart. Intimidation happens in many forms. The crack cocaine piece brought us to a different level where service users were being targeted and being tempted with other substances. People who might have been dabbling with heroin, weed or whatever were being offered free samples of crack cocaine in order to get them hooked on that substance. We have seen a new level of intimidation which can happen in many forms.
