Podcast appearances and mentions of tony duffin

Tony Duffin, the CEO of the Ana Liffey Drug Project, said that stigma against drug users is “very serious”and that there needs to be a health-led approach to responding to drug use, rather than a criminal approach.In this episode Tony talks to us about his upbringing in London, his Irish roots in Wexford, his family life and his work over the last 30+ years in harm reduction. Duffin said that Ireland needs to change its laws around drugs to help address this stigma.“Stigma is a huge issue. It does prevent people from coming forward to access treatment and rehabilitationand other supports.Duffin said that “In countries like Portugal, where they implemented the model of decriminalisation, which is essentially avery good diversion scheme, they have seen stigma towards people who use drugs disappear. It took about 10 years, 15 years of treating it as a health issue before people realise andstart to say, ‘they're not criminals, they're people who need a bit of help'.”Duffin added that he believes there is an important distinction between “drug use” and “problematic druguse”, To follow Tony's work and the work of Anna Liffey Drugs Project click below linkshttps://www.facebook.com/share/pSzw67HovzfHTVKv/?mibextid=LQQJ4dhttps://www.instagram.com/analiffey?igsh=cjk5dXh2ZHlkeDlk Hosted on Acast.

In show fifty (the real one), Tara breaks her podcast hiatus for a chat. How could she refuse the powerhouse that is Tony Duffin from the Ana Liffey Drug Project? He talks Tara through what ALDP does with regard to dealing with addiction, and realistic concerns for safety versus NIMBYism. How keeping people  #saferfromharm isn’t promoting drug use, but acknowledging the human beings who need support. How prohibition - Just Say No -  just doesn’t work. What Portugal has done about it. And Tara asks whether The Pogues have been underestimated in their role in positive Anglo Irish relations.  www.aldp.ie   ---   Website   http://www.taraflynn.ie   Patreon   https://www.patreon.com/taraflynnirl   Instagram   https://www.instagram.com/taraflynnirl

Barry Dempsey, Tony Duffin, Ross Thompson, Daniel Hannigan, Adam Gaine, Charlie Wright. They are some of the everyday heroes that I spoke to for this podcast. There are lot more out there. Seek them out and help them in their quest to make our community a better place to be. And if you are inspired by them and you can champion your own quest for a better world, go for it.

Tony Duffin is the CEO of the Ana Liffey Drug Project, a Dublin-based non-profit organisation which advocates for a health-based, harm-reductive approach to the issues of drug-use and drug policy in Ireland. First established in 1982, the Ana Liffey Drug Project offers services to people who use drugs in the Dublin, Mid-West and North-East regions of the country. Along with the London School of Economics they have in the last 6 months released a report calling for the decriminalisation of people who use drugs in Ireland. The report, titled ‘Not Criminals’ notes that treating possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use as a criminal offence is counterproductive in that it both fails to discourage drug use and acts as a barrier to seeking help and reintegration for those people who are using drugs

Tony Duffin took on a volunteering job in a shelter in London at the age of 21 while out of work not knowing that it was going to shape his working life for years to come. Tony has been working with people that use drugs for the past 25 years and is now the CEO of the ANA LIFFEY Drug Project, that has been pioneering harm reduction in Dublin, Ireland for a number of years. Tony likes to “work with people that many would find difficult to work with” and he is passionate about campaigning for policy changes to improve the life of those affected by drugs.
