A coroner at the inquest into the death of an 18-year-old man in Cork has called for a more structured approach to educating young people about the dangers of drugs.
Cork City Coroner Philip Comyn made his comments as he returned a verdict of misadventure at the inquest into the death of Alex Ryan from Liscahane, Millstreet, who died at Cork University Hospital four days after taking a synthetic drug known at N-Bomb, at a house party.
The coroner said he would be recommending there be a more planned, structured approached to drug awareness education in schools involving the Health Service Executive, gardaí and those who had personal experience of the dangers of drug taking.
