An anti-drugs meeting will take place in Mullaghbuoy Community Centre on October 1st at 8pm.
Speakers on the night will include Derek Russell from Roscrea, County Tipperary, whose community also made a stand against drug pushers.
Nora O’Donaghy from Turas Counselling Services, Dundalk, will also speak on drug awareness, and give advice to parents on what to look for if they think their child is taking drugs. She will also discuss the devastation caused by drugs, and what to do if somebody is pushing drugs on your child or you.
Sergeant Eugene Collins, from Dundalk Garda Station, will give a presentation of the different type of drugs which are been pushed on to our young people and will also discuss the problem of anti-social behaviour. Eugene will discuss the different means of how to contact the Authorities in confidence in relation to these matters.
This meeting has been initiated by the community and all organisations in the Peninsula are invited to attend this meeting. It is very important that local people and organisations do attend to show their support for their community. The objective of this meeting is to try and find out as a community how to deal with drugs and drug pushers in the Peninsula.
The community feel it is time that we stand up as a collective against these pushers who are ruining lives, ruining families and stealing the life out of drug victims.
