Children as young as 10 are showing signs of addiction to drugs such as cannabis and a reliance on alcohol, according to the country’s oldest community-based drugs project.
Community workers responding to drug and alcohol misuse in Ballymun, Dublin, are reporting treating school children at such a young age presenting with patterns of addiction.
The community group is this month celebrating a series of events to mark its 30th year of services, which were founded after three young people died from heroin use in 1981.
President Mary McAleese will today visit the Ballymun Youth Action Project where an exhibition with works by artists with links to the area will be opened.
