Officials from the HSE and the Department of Health and Children will outline to the Committee how they intend keep control over the sale of legal highs and what steps are being taken to educate people of the harm these substances can cause.
Committee Chairman, Seán O’Fearghail TD said;
“Recent legislation has brought under control approximately 200 individual substances which were on sale in head shops. However, there is a danger people will try to circumvent the recent measures by importing other substances which are currently not subject to the ban. We are anxious to establish how this potential threat will be addressed.
The HSE are also rolling out a national awareness campaign on the dangers of these legal highs and we would like to know more about how this plans to inform people of the perils of these substances.”
