1. Why is he asking her questions that have nothing to do with her?

   Sure she told him what the HSE approach is and then he asked her about the misuse of drugs act.

   Rogan had the founders of the enhanced games on this week and they made the point that you have to win people over who have never and will never take drugs to change policy.

   Attacking a woman about the States policy for the past 60 years doesn’t do that. It just hardens the view of the 95 %

   Edit also Lynne ruane is the chair of this committee? That’s worse again. At least Gino is a fairly likeable fella despite his politics

2. I’m in favour of decrim / legislation, but picking on a civil servant who has no legislative power to score political / TV points is a bit dodge. 

3. Ah, another Joint Committee for TD soapboxing 

4. ITT druggies

5. The lady answering the question……, what exactly is her role within the Dept. Of Justice?

6. Good man Gino, take somebody who has no power to change policy to task! That’s a smart lad

7. ” Just needed to get that off me chest”
   Great use of speaking time.
