Edenderry Gardai warn of drug abuse dangers during local school visit

The Edenderry Community Policing unit has recently made a visit to Oaklands Community College to warn students of the dangers of drug abuse.

Guards engaged with 160 second year students from the school to discuss the dangers of drug misuse, the harm it causes, and its lasting effects.

The unit were joined by Martina from the Midlands Regional Drugs and Alcohol Task Force, who provided valuable insights on the impact of substance abuse and the support services available.

"Educating young people on these issues is crucial in helping them make informed and positive choices," Edenderry Community Policing unit said.

"A huge thank you to the school for facilitating this important discussion and to the students for their engagement."
