Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I appreciate what Deputy Feighan said. Public representatives play an important role in drugs task forces as do others. The community response to the head shops is a good example of what can be done when people recognise danger. We will have to continue to develop our response regardless of where the problem arises. Despite all its critics, the Health Service Executive is co-operating and providing new services in areas where gaps existed.
