Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I support Deputy Shatter's amendments and propose that a reference to "injected" would further enhance the definition of "psychoactive substance". I am aware of cases where methadrone, for example, is being injected by users causing horrendous abscesses. I would be satisfied if the Minister could show that "consumed" covers all those eventualities, but for clarity of law, Deputy Shatter's amendments are reasonable and the Minister might also consider further amending the definition to include a reference to "injected".
