Drugs strategy minister Frank Feighan has said that the suspension of a Dublin drugs task force is “temporary” pending the appointment of an independent chairperson and the broadening of membership.

The minister of state at the department of health said that once this is done the suspension will be lifted and the North Inner City Drugs and Alcohol Task Force will “resume” its responsibilities.
