This is all about, um, choice." What would you say to that?

I think particularly in the context of the, the chemsex culture, it's something that's, that is important to us as a group, and even though I'm a lesbian, and it's the gay men that are leading our take on it.

I know a lot of young gay men who came to Ireland from other countries, um, looking for a better quality of life.

One friend in particular, he didn't have very strong English.

He went to the gay bars to try and chat to people in the smoking area, get to know people, but also to help improve his English, and he got brought to this, and it was kind of just explained to him, oh, well, this is just how gay culture is in Ireland.

It was framed in that sort of way, and after a very short amount of time being in Ireland, he ended up addicted to meth, uh, and also heroin.

Yes, it's two, you know, two or more consenting adults, and people can do what they want, but a lot of them aren't informed.
