Portadown Ógra activist Gemma McKenna commented,
"We wanted to get the message of the NARC campaign across to the people of Portadown, and I think we did this very successfully today."
She continued,
"It is exteremly important that young republicans take a lead in their communities, and tackle important social problems like Drug and Alcohol abuse. We must empower our communities and help people realise they don't have to accept their community being ravaged."
"We are looking to build on the good work Sinn Féin have done in the area on these issues."
