A street project working with volatile young people caught up in the drugs trade again faces a “funding cliff-edge” and needs the intervention of State agencies to survive, according to an evaluation report.

The TRY project, based around an infamous inner-city Dublin flats complex currently undergoing regeneration, should be expanded into other areas battling drugs, gangs and disadvantage, according to the study.
