Centre to help in youth drugs fight

A NEW centre on Cork’s northside, which targets at-risk youths, will help in the fight against drugs.

Drugs Strategy Minister Pat Carey officially opened the Knocknaheeny Youth Link-Point centre yesterday — the final piece of a €3.8 million campus which offers enhanced facilities for young people in one of Cork’s most economically deprived areas.

Building work on the project, based on the grounds of Terence McSwiney College, was completed recently.
