'There is no part of the ground that says it's okay to hold illegal drugs.'

Electric Picnic returns to Stradbally this weekend following a long, pandemic-related hiatus.Eagerly-awaited to say the least, this year's bash boasts the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Megan Thee Stallion, Tame Impala and Dermot Kennedy amongst the headliners.It's a mammoth experience, is the Picnic, so there's plenty to see and do across the entire weekend. One notable new addition, however, comes from... *checks notes* ...the Health Service Executive of Ireland.

The drugs in question can be dropped off at"surrender bins". They will not be returned for use. Despite the measure, Gardaí are keen to remind the public that possessing illegal drugs is, well, illegal. As such, no amnesty will be provided to revellers found to be in possession of such substances.
