Recent findings have revealed that Mayo has the highest number of alcohol related deaths in the country, a startling, bleak figure, which shows the misuse of alcohol in the county and the need to address our society’s issue with alcohol. Locally, support and leadership is needed to make this happen and through the work of the Western Region Drugs Task Force, via their community liaison worker, help and advice is at hand.
Pat Conway, from Westport, has been in the role of community liaison worker since January of this year. Pat is emplyed by the local integrated development company, South West Mayo Development Company, which is located in Balla. Pat assists communities in Mayo and North Roscommon in dealing with alcohol or drug issues in their communities.
