Tánaiste: Middle Ireland facilitates gangland crime 'by snorting coke and popping pills'

The Oireachtas Drug Use Committee published a report earlier this week that called for the decriminalisation of drugs for personal use.

Tánaiste Simon Harris has urged caution about decriminalising drug use as he raised concerns about those “facilitating” gangland crime by “snorting coke, popping pills, and smoking joints”.

He said that while people in addiction should have access to healthcare, it is “really annoying him” that “Middle Ireland’s” use of drugs is not being examined.
