Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Following on the issue raised by Senator Glynn, it is appalling to think that a young person's drink may be spiked. I too am a member of the Joint Committee on Health and Children. We know from research carried out by the Rotunda that no young woman who showed up alleging she was raped had any trace of the drug Rohypnol in her blood. It would be wrong to say that women are being raped because their drinks have been spiked when the figures show the opposite. The only reason they are allegedly raped is because of over indulgence in alcohol. If we have a debate on this issue, it should deal with the issue of over indulgence as it is a worrying fact.
