Committee on Drugs Use: Family Supports: Discussion (25 Sep 2025)

Committee on Drugs Use: Kinship Care and Care: Discussion (9 Oct 2025)

Ann Graves: I agree with what Ms Dunne said about taking someone away from their family for two weeks. What sort of crime would it be anyway? They tend to be petty.
