Committee on Drugs Use
A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Tony Duffin:
I think an additional €40 million was announced for the national drugs strategy. I do not know whether it is sufficient. I do not think so in the sense that the citizens’ assembly recommendations have yet to be agreed and rolled out. I assume there will be a need for more money to do that and that this will be dealt with next year. I do not know the answer. I do not think what was announced is sufficient.
