Committee on Drugs Use

A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Geoffrey Corcoran:

It brought to mind an individual who had come through, had done huge work in a recovery journey, had come through aftercare programmes and was suitable and ready for employment, and an old charge from three and a half to four years ago came up. That criminal nature meant there was an obvious block to him there in terms of Garda vetting and trying to move into training or employment. That was a huge challenge.
