Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

Does the Minister of State accept there is a crisis throughout the country with regard to drugs, which is the message that seemed to come from the Garda Commissioner at the conference? Does he accept we need to roll out services to deal with that crisis? Unfortunately, as in the past, young people are coming forward to look for help but services are not available in country areas. Will the Minister of State contact the Department of Health and Children and its Minister, and his own Department, with a view to rolling out these services? Does the Minister of State accept the services are needed and that it is disgrace we are not supplying help to those who seek it?
