Ireland's Health Led Approach to Drugs Use

In June 2023, Drugreporter visited Dublin where we interviewed key experts about Ireland's drug policy developments. The first half of the film is a case study about the Ana Liffey Drug Project, a leading low threshold harm reduction program in downtown Dublin. The second half is a discussion with experts on key issues of drug policy in Ireland, and the Citizen's Assembly on Drugs Use.

The interviewed experts in the film are: Francesca Osborne, Saoirse Aitken, Tony Duffin, Damien Gagnevin, (Ana Liffey Drug Project), Jim Walsh (Drugs Policy and Social Inclusion Unit Department of Health), Andy O’Hara (UISCE Advocacy Service for People who use Drugs in Ireland), Anna Quigley (CityWide Drugs Crisis Campaign), Stacey Lyons (National Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Sector)
