Mr. Brendan Minish:

Yes, I want to comment on what Professor Smyth said. The drug use in higher education in Ireland, DUHEI, study that he cited in his introduction that showed some deterrent effect also showed that over half of our third level students have used drugs, and 37% within the last year. I believe the figure of 8% is an old figure. This follows more of a European trend and what we need to do is regulate around the harms. There must be safe supply and we need to cross this bridge, particularly with some of the more addictive substances. It will be a difficult conversation, but we had safe supply back in history when these compounds were supplied through pharmacies.
