Local and Regional Drugs Task Forces receive annual funding from the Drugs Initiative of my Department to allocate to community based drugs initiatives in their areas.

The North East Regional Drugs Task Force (NERDTF) covers counties Louth and Meath and also East Cavan and Monaghan. NERDTF has been allocated €956,508 in 2013 which supports 10 projects in the region. The Health Service Executive (HSE) also provide drug and alcohol services in Counties Louth and Meath. The HSE will respond directly regarding these services.
