- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: If we are going to make a change, such as decriminalisation of the person, we need to have serious service supports in place. Other jurisdictions did this and went down this road but they did not have youth workers, social workers, psychologists or addiction services in place to help people. That has to be a very important part of this. Would Mr. Perth like to come in on the subject of...

Gino Kenny: I will prioritise Mr. Collins in the next part, if that is okay. I now call Deputy McAuliffe.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I thank everyone for coming in. We are always trying to use our time in the meeting. We are here to do a body of work. Sometimes for us it can be frustrating revisiting topics such as the impacts of poverty, intergenerational trauma and the concentration of this in disadvantaged communities. The reason it can be frustrating is because many of the people who are here at this committee are...

Paul McAuliffe: That has an impact on retention and recruitment.

Paul McAuliffe: The question was about youth justice and that project.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Are there any organisations that are funded by youth justice?
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: In theory, the UBU project is for general youth work and the youth justice system is for more targeted youth work. On young people being referred to services through the Garda referral process, what is Mr. Ducque's experience of criminal association with addiction or involvement in the sale or distribution of drugs? How does that get in the way of working with young people? Does it get in...

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...
- 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...
