In a bid to tackle the war against drugs in Ireland, The Labour Party will today call for a health-led drugs policy and decriminalization of people who use drugs.
Labour’s Health Spokesperson Marie Sherlock TD has said the Government has failed to deliver on its promise of a health-led approach, and that criminalising, shaming and stigmatising people in addiction has created a broken system that punishes rather than supports.
Would you be in favour of decriminalising drugs?
Joining Andrea to discuss is Addiction Therapist in Limerick, Michael Guerin, as well as listeners.
