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...

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

Paul McAuliffe: They are picking up too many charges.

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

Paul McAuliffe: It is an opportunity to engage.

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.

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...

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

Louise O'Reilly: I agree.

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

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: We will go into supplementary questions now. Does Deputy Crowe have any additional questions?

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: Thanks for that. The staff here have been fantastic and all the members have been really good about getting that report out.

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

Gino Kenny: That person will have a criminal record for the rest of his life. It is unbelievable really.

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

Gino Kenny: Very good. Did Mr. Perth want to come in?

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

Gino Kenny: I will call Ms Kelly. I will go around to everybody.

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

Gino Kenny: Does Mr. McCann want to come in?

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...
