Committee to examine measures against legal highs

The measures introduced to counteract the sale of legal highs will be examined today by an Oireachtas committee. Officials from the HSE and the Department of Health 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.

Recent legislation has brought under control approximately 200 individual substances which were on sale in head shops.

However, some feel there is now a danger people will try to circumvent the recent measures by importing other substances which are currently not subject to the ban.
