Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
191. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the value of drugs that were destroyed by State agencies in each of the years 2010 to 2016, broken down by type of drug and quantity in kilograms; and the agency responsible for their destruction. [20435/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will appreciate that there are a number of State agencies whose officers are empowered to exercise drug seizure powers. Not all such agencies would fall within the remit of my Department.
Having regard to my own Department's remit, I have requested a report from the Garda Authorities in relation to the destruction of drugs and will be in touch with the Deputy when the report is to hand.
