The current criminal approach to drugs should not be changed, a former senior garda officer with 45 years of experience in national and international law enforcement has said.

Michael O’Sullivan, who fought international drug gangs, including the Kinahan cartel, both in An Garda Síochána and in an EU drug interdiction agency, said that in his experience he hasn’t seen an alternative system that works.
