Service to mourn drug victims and offer hope to families

UP to a thousand people are expected to attend an annual service tonight in memory of all those who have died from drugs and to support those struggling with addiction.

Families from across the country, and from the North and Scotland, will gather at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Dublin’s north inner city for the event.

Voluntary members of the Family Support Network have been organising the service since 2000.
