Graphic ads may aid drug warning

A policing forum in Cork is to look at the possibility of creating a graphic advertising campaign to highlight the dangers of taking synthetic drugs.

It follows last week’s incident in which a teenager died after a house party in Cork that left four others seeking hospital treatment.

Alex Ryan, aged 18, died on Saturday after taking a deadly hallucinogenic substance, N-bomb, that had been introduced at the party in the Greenmount area of Cork City last Tuesday.
