About Us

The RDTF was established under the National Drugs Strategy 2001 – 2008 to research, develop, implement and monitor a co-ordinated response to illicit drug use at a regional level, based on evidence of what is effective.

The RDTF is responsible for ensuring the development of a co-ordinated response to tackling substance misuse in North Dublin City & County, excluding the five Local Drug Task Forces. This means that the RDTF concentrates on the following areas:

Balbriggan, Balscadden, Balrothery, Naul, Garristown, Rush, Lusk, Skerries, Portrane, Donabate, Swords, Malahide, Portmarnock, Baldoyle, Fairview, Clontarf, Drumcondra, Santry, Clonsilla, Castleknock and Tyrellstown.
