Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Does it make any sense to hold these public meetings when the HSE has decided to scrap plans for the introduction of cocaine clinics in Dublin, Waterford, Cork and Kerry? It is also proposing to close treatment services in Dublin for heroin users and is delaying the introduction of detox beds in hospitals. Does it make sense to seek the views of the general public when we know we will not even get the detox beds we need?
