Ivor Callely

Question:

78 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Justice the existing measures referred to by her in her response to Parliamentary Question No. 113 on 11 June 1996, with regard to drug abuse, drug pushing and drug related crime; the additional measures, if any, she is considering in this regard; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12799/96]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

It would not be possible, in the context of an answer to a parliamentary question, to cover adequately the progress made on an item by item basis on the implementation of such a wide range of measures. Accordingly, I have asked officials in my Department to compile the information and, when that is done, I will communicate with the Deputy.
