Committee on Drugs Use

Family and Community: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Eddie D'Arcy:

-----might be just turfed out. I can understand why at times. The hospitals are warm, you can sit there all night and obviously people suffering from addiction often see it as a safe place to be. There is still a feeling in middle Ireland that it is self-inflicted and a sense that there are more important people in the country than people with addiction. That is still there.
