Minister for Health Simon Harris TD and Minister for State for Communities and the National Drugs Strategy, Catherine Byrne TD thanked the TDs and Senators who contributed to the debate and who facilitated the passage of the Bill through the Houses of the Oireachtas before the summer recess.
The primary purpose of the Bill is to protect public health by bringing certain substances which are open to misuse and known to be traded on the illicit market under the scope of the Misuse of Drugs legislation, thereby aiding the law enforcement activities of An Garda Síochána. These include so-called z-drugs – zopiclone and zaleplon.
