The Irish Citizen’s Assembly of Drug Use published a report last week recommending drug decriminalization.
Paul Reid, the assembly chairman, told the Irish Examiner that the report suggests a “decriminalized” model for individuals caught in possession of drugs for personal use, while the possession will remain illegal under the law.

The report is scheduled to reach the Oireachtas and the Government, with the former required to establish a committee to review it and provide a detailed response.
