Pubs bid to stamp out underage drinking

PUBLICANS and the gardaí have teamed up in the south-east in a bid to stamp out under-age drinking as well as drug misuse across Tipperary.

The Health Service Executive Substance Misuse Service, Garda Síochána and the Mid-Tipperary Drugs Initiative (MTDI) hope it will catch on nationwide.

Under the initiative, publicans promoting the initiative have received training on drug misuse and dealing with drug-related incidents.
