History will be made at the Electric Picnic as the Health Service Executive operates Ireland’s first pilot drug testing service. It will involve back-of-the-house testing with festival-goers able to deposit drugs in Surrender bins in the HSE Harm Reduction Tent and other medical facilities. If any causes for concern arise from the resulting chemical analysis – unusually high potency, dangerous contaminants etc. – warnings will be issued through social media channels.
