Committee on Drugs Use

Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Cathal O'Regan:

There are things that can be done within the school system. We had a fantastic presentation from a young teenage girl from Clondalkin who had gone through a drug prevention programme, which was partly done in school but was also partly done in the youth work setting. That was driven or co-ordinated by a community drug and alcohol task force. That was a really good example.
