Drug harm reduction teams will be onsite for a festival this weekend.
The HSE is warning festival goers to “mind themselves and others” as the illegal drugs market evolves.
Drug tents from the Health Service's Safer Nightlife Programme found half of the MDMA pills tested at Electric Picnic contained nearly double the average adult dose.
The drug harm reduction teams will be on-site for back of house testing at District X Festival in Kildare this weekend.
Nicki Killeen, HSE Emerging Drug Trends Project Manager, says by monitoring the market, they found MDMA is becoming more risky to use:
