Anybody whos been in Dublin 10 minutes sees this side to it. The city was Europes poorest city for two centuries, a bombed out Belfast during the 1970's and 80's was still far richer than Dublin. It would take decades to make it look nice all over.

They did it as a last resort, everyone was given a warning first to cease their dealing (which resulted in the loss of life of children and young people all across dublin) - if they continued, they were given a more harsh warning, third time around - they were removed from society.

that's nonsense, the lack of gun crime was due to the IRA being active and them not allowing criminals to take over. As soon as the IRA went on ceasefire the gun crime exploded as there was nobody to stop the criminals.

I know the consultant who did this year's report to the Irish government and he remains completely anti the Holland or Switzerland approach. So no change there. I am half Irish and live here, but we remain in a really old fashioned state altogether. I am also wary of any new approaches, but the drugs war around the world is not being won. South America remains in dire straits due to the drug wars. Something has gotta change.

@Eddiesilence Well said bud!! There's also the argument that people will sell a little weed but if it was legal they wouldn't be heroin dealers... selling a little weed is helping your friends by sharing what you got and what they want. Dealing heroin , crack, meth, coke and other 'seriously harmfull' substances are a non starter for most true weed men!

Gardai in Dublin are Grossly under manned

Having spent 22 years smoking marijuana and 16 on heroin I know the difference all to well but at the same time the last 2 years I have been totally drug free, coming off heroin I didn't sleep or hardly eat for about 8 or 9 weeks and when I stopped smoking weed I also could not sleep, might have only been 1 week but you definitely develop some kind of dependence maybe physiological but still a dependence a bit like cigarette's

Just legalize all drugs. Then one can start working on the drug problems among the people.

Exactly. im sure most people heard this but, dealers don't: check ID, make the the drug isn't laced or cut (i know people who died of bad heroin), and will not rob you for your money.

that was a rare protest here and it was in 2007 , havent seen or heard of any Irish community standing up for their towns since or against the scum dealers , in Fact in Dublin there are 6 new drug gangs which replaced 2 others when the main people were jailed . these 6 gangs have over 200 young members and are within a few miles of the Dublin city center , it is getting worse and more dangerous for innocent people to go about their daily lives without being attacked .

It's good to take action against the drug dealers when you feel that the powers that be aren't doing enough, but if you're trying to get them out of your neighborhood and move somewhere else, they're just going to be other people's problem. ...need to get them put in jail and have the keys thrown away so they can't bother anyone else.

Unfortunately it didn't take long for sheriff street to catch on and they were up there ripping people off. Place was hot as fuck drug squad would just circle the area and nick people on the way out. Getting things wasn't the problem keeping hold of it was. Never ripped in the mansion but was in sheriff street. Miss spent youth. I was lucky enough to get to UK. But I was already on the wrong road I did return to Dublin in addition twice first time mansions was good to score second time could not go near the place without getting your head kicked in by vigilantes. But just moved problem elsewhere. Why do we have a drug problem coz they illegal and people want them try making celery illegal and see who gives a fuck

I understand your point. I just hate the lack of education around the subject and people just lump all "drugs" together as if they are the same thing, you obviously know the difference but others don't. They should invent a new word to refer to crack cocaine, heroin and crystal meth because they just aren't the same as other drugs.
