Committee on Drugs Use

Family and Community: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Karl Ducque:

Yes, and the youth worker is there to support them through that process. There is a shift in their lives and youth workers are there. I asked this guy what was the most he had made in one day. He said it was €5,000. He had made €5,000 in one day and I am there trying to get him into college or an apprenticeship or something. We never had a hierarchy or drug dealers telling us to get away from people because they were their workers. We know some youth workers who have experienced that but it has never happened to me.
