I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I apologise, as I had to step out for a few minutes. To go back to comments made about the new drugs strategy not coming out until 2025, is this not a kick in the teeth to everyone who is involved with drug treatment or with helping people in addiction and recovery and even to the citizens' assembly itself? This is the type of attitude the Department, led by the Government, has on the drug issue.
