Committee on Drugs Use

Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Graham O'Neill:

I was part of the steering group that was a point of contact for assembly members. We met for two or three meetings before the assembly meetings took place and had an input into how it was arranged and how the day went, including on matters as menial the time given to certain speakers, breaks, etc. The assembly members had the option of going to the six steering group members and voice their concerns as well. As members of the assembly we had an input into how the meetings took place and the speakers. We were also given advance agendas.
