Ann Graves (Dublin Fingal East, Sinn Fein)

This service was set up originally as a community-based service and grew from there over the years. That was fine when the vast majority of the drug problems were concentrated in Dublin's north and south inner city areas. As we know, every village and every town across the country is now affected, but the services are not there. Many people are seeking services and if they arrive in Dublin, there is nowhere for them to live meaning they end up on the street and it escalates from there. Having satellite outreach centres would be a start and it can grow from there.
