I thank Dr. Ó Concubhair and Mr. Glynn for attending the hearing today. Both made very powerful statements in terms of the call for decriminalisation. Obviously a huge part of the decriminalisation conversation inevitably leads us to the question of access to drugs, the market for drugs and this question about legalisation. I know Dr. Ó Concubhair touched on it earlier. In terms of that vision of a regulated model of legalisation, could he paint a picture of how exactly he sees that playing out in Ireland because he talked not just about cannabis, but about MDMA as well? There is a conversation about whether it should be all drugs or a small number of drugs. Could he talk in some more detail about what limits or otherwise the State should be setting down with regard to which drugs should be legalised in terms of his views on legalisation?
