Sister of critical Cork teen backs public health warnings to avoid 'party pills'

A sister of the teenager who is fighting for his life after taking a suspected designer drug has backed public health warnings to avoid so-called party pills.

She said people need to be aware of the dangers so that others don’t have to go through what her family is enduring.

Her 18-year-old brother was still in a critical condition in Cork University Hospital last night after collapsing at a house party on the south side of Cork City in the early hours of Tuesday.
