Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy John Curran)

I have voiced my concerns in regard to the activities of headshops and substances represented as "legal highs" sold in these outlets on numerous occasions since my appointment as Minister of State with responsibility for the National Drugs Strategy.

I am arranging to forward a statement of the current position with regard to headshops directly to the Deputy.
