The Ballyfermot Local Drugs Task Force is a partnership of Statutory Agencies, Voluntary Organisations and Community Representatives set up to respond to the drugs problem in Ballyfermot. It was established under Ministerial order in 1997 and since then it has played a central role in the start up, development, and coordination of drug services and initiatives in Ballyfermot to address local needs.

The BLDTF is responsible for researching, planning and implementing local drug strategies in the Ballyfermot area in line with the National Drugs Strategy. The BLDTF works to ensure that the effects of drugs on individuals, families and the community is minimised, and that all organisations and service providers are capable of dealing with the drugs issue on their normal daily work.
