A group of individuals and organizations in drugs policy, well-being, and support services have penned an open letter to An Taoiseach expressing "grave concerns" that the Citizens' Assembly on Drugs may not be meeting the "vital requirement" presented in its terms of reference to “operate in an open and transparent manner”.
The Assembly, approved by the Cabinet in February, was created to investigate ways to significantly reduce the harmful impacts of illegal drugs on individuals, families, and communities.
However, in a letter seen by the Irish Mirror, policy experts, TDs and campaigners have alleged that the formation of an advisory group for the Assembly was done “without the slightest effort” to be “open and transparent”.
