Justice Minister Targets Drink Spiking | Cork News

The Justice Minister is cracking down on drink spiking, calling it a brutal crime that exploits the vulnerable and destroys lives — and yes, existing laws already cover it. Poisoning charges can land offenders in jail for up to three years, with seven or more if it enables assault or theft. With a zero-tolerance stance on violence, the government is rolling out safety training for night-time venues and launching pilot programs in places like Cork City, backed by a new cross-agency task force. The goal? A safer, more secure night out for everyone — patrons and workers alike.
