- Committee on Drugs Use: Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: I am conscious that I want to ask Mr. Glynn a question and my time is scarce. I thank Dr. Ó Concubhair. That is really useful. I have a particular interest in police culture and I hear what Mr. Glynn has said about trust and confidence in policing in the UK being at an all-time low and that ultimately, if we have a decriminalised model, it frees up police time. I am interested to...
- Committee on Drugs Use: Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Chair and our two witnesses for attending. I will put my questions to Deputy Chief Constable Wilson first. In terms of the experience in British Columbia, she stated that prior to decriminalisation, police officers rarely sought charges for simple possession. Will she explain the culture within the police force that was part of that situation? I presume there was not a major...
- Committee on Drugs Use: Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: I thank Ms Wilson very much. To Mr. Russoniello, I am really struck by what he describes as the campaign to reverse measure 110 and the lack of leadership. He might share his reflections on the level of investment or the infrastructure that exists in Oregon with regard to harm reduction and health services. Was that part of why measure 110 was ultimately reversed? I note that he lists...
- Committee on Drugs Use: Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: In some ways, it was the problematic consumption of drugs in public spaces that led to decriminalisation. What are the laws with regard to consumption of alcohol in public spaces in British Columbia? Was there a difference between alcohol and drugs or were they the same?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the committee for hosting this hearing today because for many of us here, it is a huge issue in our communities, and a huge issue for the workers within waste collection companies themselves. I know that after housing and policing, I think waste is the third biggest issue raised on the doorsteps in our communities. Waste is a public service that is effectively being delivered by...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: How much local authorities spend on dealing with illegal dumping has been mentioned. It is a significant cost every year. Will Councillor Doolan set out what oversight and reporting there is within Dublin City Council and, as he understands it, other local authorities as regards the activities of bin collection companies? For example, where there is an inconsistent collection service, what...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)
Marie Sherlock: I have four brief questions for the CCMA and four for the IWMA. I thank both organisations for being here because this us a very useful conversation. Obviously, many of us come with different views on this but to have this conversation is constructive. My first question is for the IWMA. By law now, every household is supposed to have a brown bin. We know that, particularly in Dublin,...
