Boyzone will link up with primary school teachers this week in a bid to raise awareness about drugs.

The Crimestoppers campaign, officially launched yesterday, also includes the Garda Siochana, the INTO and local businesses in a national awareness campaign. Every school has received information packs with leaflets, posters, cards, pens and rulers. Throughout the week in schools around the State there will be treasure hunts, debates, sports days, poster campaigns and visits by gardai and doctors to schools.
