The recent report of the pilot drugs court in Dublin's northside is encouraging and is succeeding in diverting people from the criminal justice system and encouraging them into more effective treatment and rehabilitation programmes. As Senator Brian Hayes said, a debate is taking place on the impact and effectiveness of the methadone programme in general. It is good that this debate is taking place now. I encourage the national advisory committee to establish as quickly as possible the areas within the methadone programmes which are causing problems. We have all heard the stories of people collecting prescribed methadone and selling it to buy other drugs. These are areas that have to be looked at.
