The website, CLDAF.ie, promotes links to a wide range of helpful services for adults, parents and under-18’s in Longford in relation to substance misuse.
The site also connects visitors to information such as up-to-date drug names - a valuable resource for parents and professionals dealing with young people and who wish to familiarise themselves with the ever changing database of narcotic nicknames.
In praising the new resource, Inspector Declan McGlynn said “It’s a fantastic graduation from what was a paper-based project, growing over 18 years to today, where we're IT friendly.
At the launch of the County Longford Drug and Alcohol Forum (CLDAF) website cldaf.ie were Angela Moran, Breda Greaves, Emer Maguire and Siobhan Martin
Addressing the crowd, Inspector Patrick McGirl discussed Drug Related Intimidation and Violence Engagement (DRIVE), which concentrates on helping people experiencing drug related intimidation and violence."
Insp McGirl added, "I don’t have to go into detail of the serious incidents that have happened recently in Longford as I’m sure you’re aware of them but all of those have come under the umbrella of drug related intimidation.”
