Labour Calls for Health-Led Drugs Policy and the Decriminalisation of Drug Users - 04/11/2025

Labour’s Health Spokesperson Marie Sherlock TD has announced that the Labour Party will use its Private Members’ Time in the Dáil this week to call for the decriminalisation of drug users and for the creation of a compassionate, health-led drugs policy in Ireland.Deputy Sherlock said the Government has failed to deliver on its promise of a health-led approach, and that criminalising, shaming and stigmatising people in addiction has created a broken system that punishes rather than supports.Deputy Sherlock joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us about this.
