Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

We are doing our best and are trying to get the message across. We are providing resources in respect of the initiatives that have come forward. The ROSIE study was great because it proved that treatment works. We are trying to provide people with services. The drug problem is international in nature and it would be foolish for us to believe that illegal drugs will not be brought into this country. We must try to work with people and try to help those who sadly become addicted.
