Committee on Drugs Use

A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Nina Brennan:

I thank the Deputy. I suppose the lane that we are in is where the Courts Service, or the drug treatment court, sits within it. We are a statutory body and we manage the court so, effectively, our job is to implement Government policy and if there is legislation from the Oireachtas to implement that, subject to funding. Our piece is not in the assessment of other models. That is why we will very happily take part in the review the Department of Justice will lead on and feed in our experience but in terms of the final determination I would not see that as something we would do. I do not know if Ms Wright or Ms Foley want to add to this.
