- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: You are all right. I will let you in during the next part. Senator Ruane probably has a few questions. It sounds like a great initiative.

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...

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...
