Tragic Stories Fuel Call for Enhanced Drug Education in Northern Ireland
In the wake of their children’s preventable deaths due to drug use, Sandra Larmour and Fiona Spargo-Mabbs advocate for improved drug education in Northern Ireland’s schools. Jeni Larmour, 18, died after taking ketamine on her first day at university, while Daniel Spargo-Mabbs, 16, lost his life after taking ecstasy at a rave in 2014. Their parents highlight the need for genuine conversations about the dangers of drugs, urging schools and parents to fill educational gaps. A new play about Daniel’s story will tour schools in Northern Ireland to raise awareness and foster important discussions.
