Since the release of the last edition of the GAA Club Manual for Dealing with Drug and Alcohol Related Issues the ASAP Programme has significantly developed and is now an active part of the life of clubs all across the country. We have also broadened its resources to include information leaflets, posters, the website on www.gaa.ie/asap and the DVD Club Matters to the acclaim of clubs everywhere. I remain very grateful for the support for the ASAP Programme that has come from drug, alcohol and youth agencies who support clubs in their work to prevent, educate and respond to drug and alcohol issues across the 32 counties. Our aim to reduce the harm that is caused by alcohol and drugs has been furthered by our working relationships with the dedicated and hardworking staff from these agencies who have generously aided clubs in the development and implementation of numerous initiatives.
