Neasa Hourigan: I was just thinking of something that someone said to me on the doorstep last night. He said someone broke into his car and the person also had an addiction issue on top of that. What this man was describing to me was that for that person the point at which they access services or were offered anything was at the point when they went into the court system. Surely that is a problem. It...

Neasa Hourigan: We had some brilliant contributors last week who talked about the specific challenges women face when they find themselves in addiction, often around accessing services while having to deal with things like childcare. There is often a complicating factor in that they might themselves be the victim of domestic or sexual abuse or trauma from childhood, although that is not gender-specific. Is...
