Dublin Citywide Drugs Crisis Campaign launched its first policy document "Responding Together" in May 1996 at a time when communities were in turmoil over the drugs issue. Three years later, Citywide's second policy document was launched " Responding Together - the Crisis Continues." The Crisis Continues acknowledged the significant achievements and development in the years 1996 to 1999, but also stated unequivocally that, despite these achievements, the drugs situation was till very much a crisis in 1999. This, the third Citywide policy document, also acknowledges the achievements of the three years from 1999 to 2002, but carries a similar unequivocal message - The Drugs Crisis Continues.
