Jack Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

One aspect of the strategy about which I am concerned in a broader context is local drugs taskforces and their presence on the ground, in terms of the public relations exercise which should happen. How are they linking with all the community activities and schools? How are they talking to the local newspapers and radio stations? I do not believe that is happening. I am deeply concerned that the confidence needed to fight this awful habit which is now a problem in many urban and rural communities. How can we gel the whole system together to give confidence to parents and so on?
