The Lord Mayor, Criona Ni Dhalaigh, has backed a campaign urging students to think about drug use and drugs sold in powder form.
The ‘What’s in the Powder?’ campaign is the result of a collaboration between three Dublin universities – DIT, TCD, and UCD and the Ana Liffey Drug Project.
It focuses on harm reduction information related to powder taking. Already in 2016, there have been a number of hospitalisations and a fatality in Ireland which was reported in the national press.
Posters and factsheets will be distributed on college campuses as well as promoted on social media to help educate young people on drug use.
Speaking at the launch in the Mansion House, The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Críona Ní Dhálaigh, highlighted Ireland’s drugs problem: “After more than three decades of drugs devastating our communities, Ireland’s drugs problem has gone way beyond the point of a crisis.
