Abstract
Drawing upon innovative research methods this article provides the first
Irish estimates of opiate use based entirely on non-medical data. These estimates
are based on the report Baseline Findings from the ROSIE Study by Comiskey and
Cox (2005), commissioned in 2002 by the Irish Government’s National Advisory
Committee on Drugs (NACD). In order to place these estimates in context we first
provide a background to the probation and welfare service in Ireland; we then
provide a picture of known opiate use to date; and finally we introduce the methods
we used to provide new results on the prevalence of opiate users in Ireland.
