John Halligan calls for HSE-run drug shops

The junior minister for education has suggested that the opening of HSE-run drug shops should be considered and that the use of drugs should be decriminalised.

Independent TD John Halligan has also said that prostitution should be regulated and that ministerial wages, including his own, should be reduced further.

Mr Halligan, in a very personal interview for the latest edition of Hot Press, also said that he had a healthy sex life with his partner and that God did not exist.
