Joint Committee On Health
Addiction Services: Discussion
Ms Gwen McKenna:
Families will stop. Families will not engage with gardaí or anyone else in the community who can support them because they are afraid of giving the person a criminal record. They do everything they can to stop the person from getting a criminal record, which means that, from our experience anyway, the person has a free rein to keep on doing what they are doing. They have the families over a barrel.
