Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I ask the Leader to arrange for a debate in the next session on the drug culture. I ask her to invite the new Garda Commissioner, Noel Conroy, to come into the House and give a full report.

The Celtic tiger has been replaced by the magic dragon. Within the vicinity of this House on 24 June, two young men were viewed and photographed taking drugs in the Phoenix House car park overlooked by the new Millennium block. They were sucking or sniffing cocaine and were half-clad. They were sweating and were taking drugs for about an hour. The car number has been taken and the Garda has been notified. The photographs in my possession show them in action. That is only part of the problem and it is happening all over the country. There will have to be zero tolerance of drugs.
