The drugs problem is having a huge effect on many citizens. It is also having an effect on services, including our health service, because drugs take a toll on people's lives and they must be looked after. It also leads to crime on our streets. Money spent in this area is well spent. Those trafficking in drugs must be caught. We must not leave any stone unturned to ensure Ireland is not used for the importation of drugs which are either sold on our streets or sent to other countries on the Continent. The drug traffickers must be brought to justice. This measure will help to streamline the provisions under the Criminal Justice Act. It will also give greater powers to other countries to ensure the problem of drug trafficking by sea is addressed.
