The Irish minister responsible for drugs strategy is calling for the decriminalisation of possession of small quantities of drugs, including class A substances like heroin.
Aodhán Ó Ríordáin has told the BBC that the "Just Say No" message, taught in schools, is ineffective and "a lie".
The Irish Labour Party politician has called for a more sympathetic approach to dealing with addicts.
He emphasised that what he was proposing is decriminalisation.
