Leading academic Dr. Jo-Hanna Ivers from Trinity College Dublin claims Ireland's approach to drug addiction is "broken" and needs reform. As part of the Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use, 99 members discussed drug laws and policies in Ireland. Dr. Ivers stated the most important issue is identifying the barriers that prevent people from receiving help. Criminalisation and limited access to assistance often hinder recovery and prevention efforts.
