- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. I am substituting for my colleague an Teachta Thomas Gould. My first question, and this will probably will not surprise Mr. Perth, is for Connect 4. I was able to watch a bit on screen but also read the submissions. I was struck when the perception of self-sabotage of the area was spoken about. Perhaps Mr. Perth could talk about how young people's perception of...
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Perth for that. For the broader witnesses, my understanding is that the committee has agreed that public consumption of drugs cannot be allowed to increase, as we have heard from other jurisdictions that this has huge impacts when they decriminalise drugs. How can we control public consumption without further stigmatising the people the witnesses are working with? How can those...

Louise O'Reilly: I agree.

Louise O'Reilly: It would be overwhelmed.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: Specifically regarding public consumption and the way that can be managed, my understanding is the committee had agreed that an increase in public consumption should not necessarily be a by-product. How can that be done without further stigmatisation, however? We spoke about stigma and trauma. How can that be done without heaping further stigma on communities that do not need it and cannot...

- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: The committee produced a very comprehensive report based on hearings with witnesses who came before us. It was an interim report, although it may end up being the final report of the committee because there will be a general election in a number of weeks. The report is very progressive. One of the main areas it touches on is repealing the Misuse of Drugs Act. We cannot really discuss...

- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I thank Mr. McCann. We will probably end on that positive note. I thank everybody for coming in today and engaging with the committee, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Collins, Ms Kelly, Mr. Ducque, Mr. Perth, Mr. Whiteley, Mr. D'Arcy and Mr. McCann. Their contributions have been very valuable. I also thank Senator Lynn Ruane. Senator Ruane's contribution over the lifetime of this committee has...
