French took cocaine before hospitalised

Oh how sad irish people are and how obsessed they're with anyone in the spotlight. the over the top coverage and 7 page paper displays are ridicolous in comparison to a little box at the end of the page for ''two'' men that died of the exact same thing, i think its an absolute disgrace how fickle the irish society and media has become, people talk about the naivety about drug use in Ireland, jesus christ people its been rampant since the late 70's & 80s, why the uproar now?
People die everyday in Ireland from cocaine, heroin, alcohol and nicotine, nobody gives a **** about them, why? because nobody knows them, well who knew katie? i certainly didnt and 99.9% of the population didn't so for **** sake people get a grip.

As someone who's never taken any drugs (except the odd pain killer) I would love to be heartless and say 'serves you right' but thats not solving the problem either. Cocaine is EVERYWHERE, and sadly, I pretty much stand out as someone who has never taken it... (anyone else here in that boat?)[/QUOTE]

i'm in that boat i'm 24 next week i don't even like getting drunk
RIP katy

if this was Rosanna Davison or Glenda Gilson I could understand all the hype

I couldn't. What makes them more worthy of attention than Katy French? It's not like they've achieved loads more or anything. They do the exact same stuff she did.

You do coke, dont you?

+1. I've no prob with people doing coke at all - plenty of my friends do it - but when people try to maintain coke is harmless, that's quite irking.

"Morning Ireland" I'll have you know!! mind you, the story was "It's reported this morning that Gardai are investigating the possibility that.."

This is the funniest thing ive read all week
Do you work for the Sindo?

Indeed I dont. However it certainly sounds like you read and believe the bile that they print. Knock counter strike on the head and view the world with your own eyes rather than made up newspaper stories.

You can sell anything of poor quality to skangers. Piss beer. Burberry. Matching his and hers tracksuits. Heavily cut cocaine of such awful quality that it would not be marketable anywhere else but Ireiand is just another to add on to the list.

I'm a "D4" person and I can honestly say Cocaine is not heavily used by D4 folk. It is however heavily used by the pathetic D4 wannabes.

There is a difference...

Indeed. Really the only rubbish product common to both scobes and socialites is tobacco. Apart from that, skangers will buy crap, people with money wont. The only D4 types I ever knew into cocaine were already into their rave music. And by "D4 types" I merely mean they were from an upper class area, however they probably wouldnt be caught dead in Lillies etc etc.You simply dont get people whos idea of an ideal weekend is watching Republic of Loose or whatever crap in Whelans before flying down to Krystle doing cocaine. Obviously there are exceptions. It sounds like Katy and her friends mixed with lads who were either gangsters or well connected to gangsters. Therefore, they got good quality product, unlike the rest of D4 who have tried the street standard cocaine and talcum powder cocktail 2 or 3 times and decided "this is a load of sh1te, roysh". I think I have said this earlier, but Ive been to a thousand and one parties in gaffs belonging to D4 girls, and anyone doing coke in the living room would be thrown out. On the northside anyone with an ounce bag on him could well expect to take two girls upstairs with him. Cocaine is already a problem drug in this country because of the amount of skangers marrouveh- if it was actually good quality, imagine how big the problem would be. Hell, even Id be tempted to use it.

If Dustaz thinks otherwise he must be on coke (or else having hallucinations from whatever crap its mixed with in this country). Keep readin the oul Sindo grandad

Why, because he dopesnt believe what he reads in the press? Cocaine here is so heavily cut it simply could not be sold in any other country. Of course feck all D4s are buying it.

You don't sound as if you have a clue about drug use in this country,
but you're still ready to give your opinion.You're just making yourself sound like a Twat.

Indeed I do have a clue. Which is why I laugh my hole off reading the made up stories in the Sindo.

*shrugs* maybe its a different scene in Belfast but in Dublin its primarily scobies taking that sh1te. If anyone was to take out a bag in any "D4" house party ive been at they would be thrown out.

Take the blinkers off will you? An addict will buy whatever they can get their hands on, whether it's crap or not. It doesn't matter if you have money or not, if there are no other drugs around and the only thing available is a heavily cut piece of cocaine, then they will take it.

And I'm not just talking about the "D4 people" either, it goes both ways, so if all a "skanger" can get their hands on is a very good cut of cocaine, they'll take it, because they need their fix.
