I welcome the question and the answer. I particularly welcome the reference to the recreational use of cocaine, which is an absolute scourge on our society. It is right across this country. It is not confined to any particular community; it is everywhere. One of the big issues I have is bringing awareness to those recreational users that they are directly funding organised drug groups, those who target our children in particular and who prey on the vulnerable, addicts and people like that. I would very much welcome the Minister's comments on a targeted campaign to really bring it home to these individuals that it is not okay and that what they are doing is directly funding these individuals.
