Knife Feature

In February 2009 An Garda Síochána launched a nationwide public information campaign to advise young people about the dangers of knives. The “How Big Do You Feel” campaign also teaches young people about the importance of ambition and the determination to realise their goals. This is demonstrated through the involvement of sports stars and other achievers who are willing to share their stories. 

Local Gardaí will contact schools in their areas in relation to the campaign. Parents and Teachers wishing to know more about the dangers of knife crime can visit a dedicated website, www.knifefacts.ie. They can also introduce younger people to the website www.howbigdoyoufeel.ie
