We need to start dealing with the problem of crystal meth – though we haven’t even started to deal with the cocaine problem here yet, a leading campaigner for homeless and drug-addicted young people said.
Fr Peter McVerry also claimed the war on drugs had been lost; the criminal justice system had failed; and drugs were more widely available than ever before.
