Written Answers. - Sligo Drug Abuse.

Edward Nealon

Question:

583 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Justice if she will give a breakdown of the statistics that cover the Sligo area regarding drug abuse and drug problems; the official estimate of the extent of the drug problem in the area; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15151/96]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the use of illegal drugs in the Garda Division of Sligo/Leitrim is not regarded as significant. In 1995, 14 persons were charged in the division with drugs offences.
