On the participation of An Garda Síochána in the citizens' assembly, we have seen between 2019 and 2023 a 54% increase in the number of people charged with possession for personal use. That figure is 74% in Dublin or the eastern region. Deputy Gino Kenny is here; I think it was his parliamentary questions which uncovered that. Will Mr. Reid give us some insight into where he thinks An Garda Síochána's perspective is with regard to decriminalisation or going after those in possession of drugs for personal use? This is a huge concern for us in trying to change the approach from a criminal justice-led system to a health-led system. I would like to hear his thoughts on that.
