In relation to drugs and education, drugs are in every corner of the country now, as we all know. They are in every village, town and city, and County Kerry is no different. Regarding primary, secondary and third level education, how often do gardaí visit schools and colleges? I know of individuals whose lives have been ruined and whose families have had to pay off major drug debts. This is a pretty common story today right across the country. I think it must be caught early and education is the most obvious way to go about it, although it will not sort out everything. I would just like to get an idea of how often schools and colleges are visited.
