Mr. Tony Duffin:

I thank the Deputy. I am thinking about the health-led approach, which I know we are all working on and talking about.

Portugal decriminalised drugs in the early 2000s. One of the criticisms has been that it had to invest a lot of money into the system to have the psychosocial and health responses. Ireland is in a completely different space. We have a lot of investment in health services in Ireland. We can always do with more. Clearly, drugs are a massive issue for Ireland, which is why we are all here today. The national drugs strategy is about to be drafted for the next period. There are a couple of issues. We can always do with more health responses, and there is a myriad of such responses, but we also need to look at what we are doing, what we are delivering and how we are delivering it across the district and not just here in Dublin, for example.
