People caught with small amounts of drugs shuld be directed towards healthcare rather than immediately convicted of a criminal offence, according to a new policy being put forward by Fianna Fáil.
The proposal from Dublin West TD Jack Chambers, the party’s spokesman on community and the national drugs strategy, was taken on by the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party this week.
Mr Chambers circulated a policy document to his colleagues and it said Fianna Fáil should examine a model of “delayed criminalisation” when people are caught with drugs for personal use.
