Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Jim Walsh:
We adopted as a strategic priority addressing the social determinants and consequences of drug and alcohol use in disadvantaged communities. We prioritised that in 2021. We set up a structure to focus specifically on that within the national oversight committee. In that structure are two representatives from task forces. It is chaired independently by Mr. Ciarán Reid, who works with Louth Local Development, and we have a range of other stakeholders.
