Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Substance Misuse and its Impact on Communities: Discussion

Ms Grace Hill:

I appreciate Deputy Durkan's comments. We must be careful, however, regarding saying that we must reinvent the wheel, because I do not think we do. I appreciate that work needs to be done and the citizens' assembly is a unique opportunity to do that. I want to stay on message and say that the issue for us in Tallaght now is resources. We have the area-based approach and interagency working. Those aspects are all happening now. The front-line services on the ground are ready and waiting and responding in as far as they can. For us, this is now a resource issue.
