Welcome to the new and improved internet home of the
Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Local Drug Task Force (DLR LDTF).

The DLR LDTF is one of 14 Local Drugs Task Forces set up in 1998 to involve communities in the development and delivery of locally based services. We are funded by the Department of Community, Equality & Gaeltacht Affairs. Most of the operation of DLR LDTF lies in four primary topic areas, which we call pillars: Supply Reduction, Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation, and Research.

Our website is intended as a resource for everyone in DLR: individuals, drug misusers (or those in recovery) and their family members and friends, community workers and organisations; as well as regional and national organisations, statutory and Government bodies and students and professionals.

The DLR LDTF website offers visitors information and resources on:

• our organisation, LDTFs and the National Drugs Strategy
• drug misuse, both in the DLR area and further afield
• a directory of contact details for services in the DLR area
• current and future DLR LDTF projects, campaigns and other work
• details of upcoming training opportunities and events, as well as other relevant news

However, the primary work of the DLR LDTF is actually out in the community, so our Contact page has comprehensive details on getting in touch with us.

To understand our work better, the best place to start is the About section. There you’ll find:

• About the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Local Drugs Task Force (DLR LDTF)
• The National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016
• Our Area Profile
• Community Representatives
• Task Force Reports
