The brick wall poster was designed by Aine Lynn and Gerard O'Hara

Falls Community Council ran a competition locally and decided to produce the "brick wall" poster.  The names on the wall are of those children who have died through deliberately inhaling or sniffing common products which are easily available but which can lead to death.

Michael aged 15 born in Belfast, a well liked teenager who would have done anything to help his family and friends, died one Monday evening after experimenting for the first time with air freshener bought in a local shop, as so often happens the first time can be the last.  Michael's family miss him sorely and are left without their only son and brother.

Mac. aged 15, born in Londonderry, was a keen footballer with a big personality.  Mac developed a dangerous habit of inhaling solvents and died before he could become a man.  His family cared deeply and tried to warn and help him.  Now they wish only to warn other parents and spare the pain they feel.
