I am referring to these new synthetic drugs coming onto the market. They used to be sold in head shops. The witnesses might remember there was a gap in the legislation when head shops were selling these materials. The loophole was closed but the normal gardaí on the beat I spoke to in Cork did not have the training. This should certainly be part of the training for gardaí in Templemore and not just the subject of a letter. A letter is not going to run.
