Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising this. I know it has been an issue of concern for him for quite some time. I pay tribute to those in Ballymun. I met them with the Deputy on different occasions on the issue of drug addiction and recovery. I pay tribute to Jim Gavin and the citizens' assembly for its efficiency. There is no need to elaborate on Dublin's success on the football field to the rest of us. We note that super-efficiency. I would be very disposed to the idea of a citizens' assembly on drugs and many Members, the Deputy included, have proposed that as the next priority for a citizens' assembly.
