The newly-established Oireachtas committee on drugs use is expected to produce “interim reports” so at least some of its work on the Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use is “not lost” if a general election is called.

The establishment of the committee was announced by the Government following the launch of the Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use report at the end of last January.
