Ms Jackie McKenna:

Drugs are the normal culture our children are growing up in today. We are all rearing children, grandchildren and so on in this drug culture. It is not going to go away. Therefore, it makes sense for the Government to put in place supports that promote health and well-being for all at all ages, which would involve implementing the UN sustainable development goal No. 3.

It is not a case of if somebody will go on to need to support, but when they will need it. We need to put the supports in place. Drugs are out there, and they are not going away.
