Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 July 2021
582. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of seizures by his Departmental investigations unit of a substance called dexedrine and or any substance containing methamphetamine since 1 January 2018 to date in 2021; and the number of court proceedings that were initiated as a result of those seizures. [36022/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraDexedrine is a performance enhancing drug and appropriately authorised officers may lawfully seize this product in circumstances provided for under the law.
Records of all seizures are not readily available but I can confirm that a seizure of this product occurred in 2018 and that court proceedings were initiated against the individual from whom it was seized on foot of related offences.
