Ms Grace Hill:

I welcome the proposal that the Minister of State and the officials, whom we deal with mostly, should appear before the committee. Given what Ms Quigley said earlier, what is the block? Deputy Colm Burke spoke about the €21 million funding the drugs strategy at the moment. Why is that not reaching the front line? Why is that not being used to support the front-line work JADD is doing and all the other work going on around the country to address the crack cocaine issue we have been talking about for the past few years? Those are the key questions for the Department.
