• Consider mobile medically supervised injecting facilities: We will explore the establishment of mobile facilities in areas of need, building on the ongoing work at Merchant’s Quay.
• Enhance preparedness for drug overdoses: We will increase the availability of naloxone, train individuals on its use, and equip Gardaí with naloxone to carry on the beat.
• Evaluate the national drugs strategy: We will assess the outcomes of the national drugs strategy, Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery 2017-2025, and publish a successor strategy to guide future efforts.
• Re-establish the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Drugs Use: We will finish the work of examining the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Drug Use and ensure delivery of a final report, the f indings and recommendations of which will be fully considered.
• Increase funding for harm reduction measures: We will provide additional funding for measures to reduce drug related harm and deaths, including initiatives to provide a rapid response to the threat of synthetic drugs. 
• Increase funding to addiction services: We will expand drug and alcohol services in the community, develop and expand new services for young people with drug and alcohol dependency and mental health issues, and provide ongoing and increased support for people in recovery.

These initiatives aim to address the challenges of drug use in Ireland, enhance support for those affected, and promote a healthier, safer society for all.
