Irish schoolchildren are among the highest cocaine and cannabis users in the EU, according to a international survey.
Teenagers aged 15 and 16 are among the most regular users of the drugs in the 30 countries surveyed.
This study shows the 3pc of Irish teens in that category have tried cocaine, while almost one in five has experimented with cannabis. Another 2pc of 15- to 16-year-olds have tried ecstasy.
Overall, Irish under-35s are the third highest cocaine abusers – behind their Spanish and UK counterparts – according to the findings.
The findings follow a recent HSE public alert after a number of fatalities were linked to pills called "Green Apple" and "Green Rolex".
