He made a number of suggestions to the Minister, including a facility in the area for drink and drug addiction, additional funding for Gardaí to tackle the drugs problem and for the Health Minister to be contacted in relation to the issues.
Fr Toomey explains some of the other things he requested from Jim Daly.
