A local councillor has said the drugs issues in Newbridge is “causing too much disruption and distress in the community”.
Cllr Morgan McCabe raised a motion at the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District meeting on March 20, calling on the municipal district committee to request the South Western Regional Drugs Task Force actively engage and address the issues in the town.
“Newbridge is a great town, unfortunately we’re going through a brief phase of problems, mostly related to addiction issues,” said Cllr McCabe. He said the problems are to do with drugs, begging and robberies.
“It ruins the quality of life for people in the community,” he added, “The scourge of drugs is really bad.”
