Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he has not formed a view on whether the use of drugs like cannabis should be decriminalised or regulated.

It comes after an Oireachtas justice committee recommended that “a policy of decriminalisation is pursued, in line with emerging international best-practice” on the possession of drugs for personal use.
