New research from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Medical Bureau of Road Safety based in University College Dublin has revealed a dramatic increase in the detection of cocaine and cannabis among Irish drivers suspected of driving under the influence, pointing to changing patterns of drug use on Irish roads…

The study found an astonishing 21% year-on-year increase between the years 2012-2018.

Joining Ciara to discuss this further is Dr Richard Maguire from The Medical Bureau of Road Safety and Meghann Scully, Host of ‘28 Ways to Save the World’.
