 Calls for drug testing at Irish festivals have been made after the drug-related deaths of two young people in the UK this summer. Drug testing should be available as a facility at most music festivals, particularly in Ireland where an awful lot of festivals are where we see a huge uptake in illicit drug use. I mean the bottom line here is that people are using drugs at these festivals and people are you know risking harm to themselves by consuming these drugs and they will continue to do so. I think the government in general have the wrong idea all together just prohibiting drug use all together and just criminalising it like I think some kind of drug testing centres or even just drug education and to educate young people before they go using drug switches inevitable is extremely necessary. This was in the UK such as Seek a Garden Party introducing on-site drug testing with the aim of reducing harm done by illicit substances. We ask students what they thought of drug testing at Irish festivals. You cannot stop young people from taking drugs the numbers are going up and up as the years go on. Although like they're not legal so many people take them and so many accidents happen from them so definitely more lives can be saved from it. The drugs are coming in anyway so they might as well regulate it somehow to give people like a safer environment. Even though drugs are illegal and all that people are still going to use some manifest that they're like safe. It'll just make it safer and like these people are going to do it regardless I think and it's they're going to do it, they may as well do it safe. With countries such as the UK and Portugal implementing such policies is a time that Ireland follows suit. Like what DCUTV news?
