The Committee has considered all of the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use and provided a reasoned response to each one based on its work to date. The Committee has published additional recommendations. Those recommendations and the Committee’s reasoned responses are a step along in targeting the urgent changes needed around drug policy and drugs use in Ireland. The Committee Members are alarmed by Ireland’s high rate of drug deaths which has recently been the highest in Europe. The negative effects of drug use impacts all of society but disproportionately affects already disadvantaged groups and communities. The Committee Members know this from their own experiences, and this has been confirmed by the national and international witnesses who appeared before the Committee.
