"You hope no-one has to live this again" - father who lost his son to ecstasy launches new campaign.
A north Belfast man is so determined to stop young people risking their lives with drugs that he's made an extraordinary gesture. William Burns recently stunned an audience when he held up a small plastic bag containing the ashes of his 23-year-old son Jamie, who died last November after taking just one ecstasy pill on a night out. William has launched a hard-hitting new campaign called 'One Pill Will Kill', which has support right across the community. He joined Vinny in the studio this morning along with Tina Patrick from the North Belfast Police and Community Safety Partnership.
Also on the programme, time to set Stormont talks deadline date? Commentators Alex Kane and Daithi McKay discuss.
And, are we taking our carers for granted? Vinny was joined by the CEO of Positive Futures - which provides support to families - Agnes Lunne - and commentator Adrienne Peltz.
