I think it was in Canada - I apologise if I have the location wrong and I will double-check it for the record - where there was an initiative recently whereby drug dealers were encouraged to bring their supplies, especially if something had happened, to be checked and were provided with receipts. Those receipts were then shown to the people who wanted to buy the drugs. I know some people will panic the moment you mention drug dealers, but they are part of the supply chain. It is good thinking to include them in the conversation, particularly when something goes wrong. We are not there yet in Ireland, but what is the position with regard to amnesties within the community and people handing over drugs?
