Committee on Drugs Use

Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Dr. Bernard Kenny:

Fentanyl is not a major issue in Ireland. I previously worked in British Columbia and fentanyl was massive over there but we do not see a huge amount of it. We have our own problems with a synthetic potent opiate here called nitazene.
