John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I reiterate that the new national strategy is an interim drug-related strategy. On 30 September last, the Government made the decision to have a joint drug and alcohol substance misuse strategy and work will begin on that process in September 2009. During that process, in specific response to Deputy Wall's remarks, I will consult with the sporting organisations as requested.
