Merchant’s Quay questions Govt’s commitment to drugs strategy

The Merchant’s Quay Project in Dublin has questioned the Government’s commitment to the National Drugs Strategy.

The project’s annual report for 2003 showed that more than 1,300 drug users availed of its services last year, an increase of 5% on the figures for 2002. Merchant’s Quay said 600 of these were new drug users.
