There is no mention of the citizens' assembly on drugs in the spring legislative programme. The Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Feighan, was before the Joint Committee on Health last week where he made a number of references to the assembly. He was talking of a way of dealing with the difficult outstanding issues and progressing them. Is this still a priority of Government and when does it intend to establish the assembly, as per the commitment in the programme for Government?
