Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

Over the weekend, the Citizens' Assembly on Drug Use met for the penultimate time. All indications from the assembly point to a liberalisation of our drugs policy. We have had six decades of this and it has been largely a failure. If the recommendations are for decriminalisation and forms of regulation, will the Government implement those recommendations? According to the chair, Mr. Paul Reid, there is a "mood for change". Is there a mood for change in relation to six decades of a failed policy around drug use?
