Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Jim Doherty:
Yes, a mirrored version of it. When I started in Blanchardstown drugs task force in 2012, we had the person who is currently the CEO of Fingal Council County attending the meetings. I mean no disrespect to her, but we now have someone who is a community development officer. It is stark. I mean no disrespect to the woman in question but in terms of decision-making capability and the ability to influence the decisions of her colleagues in other departments in the council, she has less power to do that.
