Festivalgoers told 'medics are your mates' as HSE pilots drug harm-reduction campaign

The HSE launching its drug harm-reduction campaign aimed at people attending Irish music festivals. This new campaign offers practical harm-reduction information, as well as advice on how to reduce the risks associated with drug use.

Young people taking drugs at music festivals say they are afraid to seek medical help, with some fearing they will be fined or even prosecuted.

HSE officers are seeking to reassure people ahead of the Indie 2022 festival in Cork this weekend that “medics are your mates”.
