    How to screw a plasterboard to a brick wall?

    Hi. I have some plasterboards stuck to the wall. Pretty solid. However, I need to just add maybe 4-6 screws each board into the wall to further secure. How best do I do this? I tried a drill and screw with plug but no good. Do I need a special type of plug or screw? Thanks
