Citizens' Assembly to conduct root-and-branch review of drug policy

The mission, as outlined, for the assembly suggests it will lay out various options that the State could take.

The Government has set the new Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use the task of conducting a root-and-branch examination of the State’s approach to drug use within a nine-month timeframe.

The Cabinet gave the green light to the establishment of the people’s consultative body amid significant developments internationally on official responses to drug use and the law.
