Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Ba mhaith liom cead a lorg an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun an gnó práinneach seo a leanas a phlé: the urgent need for the Government to recognise that the drugs trade is not in recession; to congratulate the Garda on yesterday's €1.2 million cocaine seizure, the volume of which underlines once again the need for proper funding of drug addiction and rehabilitation services; and the need for the Government to reverse the 17% cut in funding to local drugs task forces which is threatening many vital front-line services across Dublin, including education and training services, family support programmes, counselling, crèches and holistic therapies, at a time when the demand for these has never been higher.
