Established in 2003, the Mid West Regional Drugs Task Force (MWRDTF) is one of 10 Regional Drugs Task Forces (RDTFs) in Ireland set up on foot of recommendations from the National Drugs Strategy (NDS). The purpose of the task forces is to facilitate a more effective response to the drugs problems in areas experiencing the highest levels of substance misuse. The Mid West area includes Clare, Limerick County, Limerick City and North Tipperary.

The purpose of the Limerick City Strategic Plan is to map where it is we want to go, i.e., the vision of the Limerick City sub-group, the current context, and the steps or actions that we need to take over the next five years.
