Dublin Drugs Court to be expanded and made permanent
01/02/2006 - 08:05:53The Drugs Court in Dublin is to be expanded and made permanent following the success of the initiative during a five-year trial period.
The court was set up as a supervised treatment programme for drug addicts who plead guilty to non-violent offences.
At present, it operates on a limited basis, but the Courts Service is planning to expand the initiative to allow all district courts in Dublin to refer eligible defendants.
