Dublin's Drug Laneways

It's just under a year since TheJournal.ie first took a tour of the injecting alleys and laneways of Dublin city centre.
12 months on, there’s not much change to report.
The lanes are still littered with used syringes and other paraphernalia.
In one part of town, just off Ormond Quay, we found a used needle just a few dozen yards from a packed children’s playground
Ana Liffey Drug Project's Tony Duffin showed us some of the worst-affected areas.

I'm an addict and would love to speak to you about health board and why they leave addicts on methadone doesn't matter how high and that's all u can be a full time addict on heroin or any other serious drug and go get your methadone every day and absolutely nothing to help u get clean

I just went the cold turkey route and I've never looked back. Gave up the gear, the benzos, molly, lyrica and the drink, and I've been sober for around two years now, I just gradually cut back over time, then just stopped and went thru it.

Very instructive for us Old Dubs; and I knew that neighborhood well. But as the narrator says, the drugs are all over, Dublin (1,2,3,4), you name it, everywhere. Great docu here!

listen folks. . There is a serious drug problem in Dublin. . I worked (building maintenance )in town for many years and saw it first hand every day. . dealers on corners with fellas on other corners keeping an eye out for the guards. . it's all over the city and it's getting worse. . Most of the premises I looked after, North and southside, I found drug paraphernalia outside every day. . it's a huge problem. .something has to be done. . and soon! !!

The government here seem to not give a toss about nothing more than bringing in off shore filthy rich companies and turning the other cheek on their homelessness, drug addiction and youth crime. It's off the scale and will in turn stop the tourist trade dead in its tracks. The glory days will soon be over here, it's too expensive, it's dirty in the centre, robbery, street crime and aggressive begging will see an end to people visiting Dublin. The government and guardai stood by and did nothing.

I just think ppl seriously underestimate da power of it....(addiction) coz I did and now I feel overwhelmed by it..... but I know I'll get thru it da other side....

I thought he did a good job. He set the scene and let the expert speak. Dublin was overrun by heroin in the eighties and was a huge societal problem. The state was completely ineffectual at dealing with it. Associated crime was high. I left Dublin for work back then. Breaks my heart to see this on the rise again 40 years later.

@thinkofitthisway7804 8 ай бұрын

Just to think, there were no drugs in Ireland not too long ago. Now it's full of drugs. But the $64K question is: If 98% of the Irish people (like in any country) want nothing to do with drugs, why are there any drugs there? And if the politicians claim to represent the best interests of the people, and will act accordingly, then what is the problem? Everybody wants the same thing - just make it a life changing event for anyone to be caught with or dealing drugs. Simple.
