DRUG TESTING AT IRISH music festivals might finally get the green light by summer 2021, according to Minister for State with responsibility for the National Drugs Strategy, Frank Feighan. 
The HSE began discussions last year with organisations that could provide drug-testing at festivals.
In 2017, the government announced that, as part of the national drug strategy, a working group involving health professionals, festival organisers and advocacy groups would be established to examine harm-reduction measures among drug-users at festivals.
