The mother of a West Belfast man, who died from a drug addiction and mental illness just over a year ago, says she will not give up her fight for better support services.
Jack Brennan's mum Lorraine was speaking as the number of drug-related deaths in Northern Ireland more than doubled in the last ten years.
Some 218 drug-related deaths were registered in 2020, up from 191 in 2019 and more than double the 92 that were recorded in 2010, according to figures compiled by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).
