Last week we launched a report on drugs in which we recommended a move away from the criminal justice model towards a health and welfare approach to deal with the possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use. Will the Commissioner comment on that recommendation? I do not know if she can answer the question. At the launch issues were raised about what the Garda might think of it.
