Summary
A government committee has controversially called for the full decriminalisation of drugs possession for personal use in Ireland. But within hours of the committee making the recommendation, it was met with fierce opposition from the Tánaiste and the gardai. Niall speaks to Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice in Maynooth University Dr Cian Ó Concubhair about the report and his own experience of getting caught with drugs. Hosted on Acast.
