Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Martin Hoey:

That is an example of where there is one legal drug in the country. Alcohol is a big one. The State has tried to do some things with it but for us as task forces, we have not seen much come down from the Departments in either financing or in help to push against alcohol. For us to continue our work, we would need a lot more help to deal with that problem.

It was added to our remit approximately two years ago.
