I support Senators Ardagh, Ruane and Humphreys who have called for a debate in this House on the drugs issue. It is no wonder that people are looking to get extra territory because this is a very lucrative business. I recently attended a policing board meeting in Castlebar, County Mayo. Every second speaker at the meeting spoke about the drugs issue, which is affecting people across the length and breadth of County Mayo, which is probably one of the most rural parts of this country.
