Leo Varadkar has said he’s never experimented with recreational drugs while a national politician.
The Taoiseach was speaking in the context of a report from an all-party Oireachtas committee that has suggested softening the laws on drugs and decriminalising certain categories, such as cannabis, in limited circumstances. Mr Varadkar did not say he was against such proposals and said he would like to see the issue discussed at a citizens’ assembly.
The Taoiseach was also asked by the Irish Mirror if he had dabbled with drugs since he was elected to the Dáil. He responded: “No, I haven’t.”
