Project aims to fight intimidation by drug dealers

A GARDA pilot project aimed at combating intimidation of families by drug dealers is due to be launched in December.

The scheme is being operated by the Garda National Drugs Unit (GNDU) in conjunction with the Family Support Network (FSN), which represents families of drug users.

The National Drugs Strategy (NDS) 2009-2016 set the issue of intimidation as a key new action.
