National Drugs Strategy: Statements
2:00 am
Maria Byrne (Fine Gael)
-----and also to Senator Fitzpatrick with regard her work on the committee. I believe in getting varied views from people who have life experience of this and those involved in the treatment centres. I compliment all those involved in treatment centres because it is not an easy job. It is about building trust as well. Gardaí work alongside many of the centres. It is about building trust with the person who comes forward for treatment, some of them on a voluntary basis and some encouraged by their families. It is about how to work with them the whole way through and keep that support going when they have come out the other end. Well done to the Minister of State. I look forward to working with her.
