McDowell Refutes Claims That Cannabis Laws Will Be Relaxed
Ireland Online | 01/23/06

The Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, has said he's not aware of reports that the Gardaí will relax the laws on the possession of small amounts of cannabis.

A newspaper claimed today that Superintendents will be directed not to charge people with tiny portions of the drug, but to caution them instead.

However, Michael McDowell said this afternoon he knows nothing about the plans.

"It hasn't been run passed me and I think that it would be a matter for consultation with the Tánaiste and the Minister for Justice as to whether that would be an appropriate response," he said.
