    The powers that be have extended the Blanchardstown experiment now for the whole of Ireland given its so called success so far.

    You simply dial 1800 220 220 and share any information you have on drug dealing you have.
    You are asked specific questions ONLY related to drug dealing.
    You identity is not asked for, traced and/or your told - not to give it!
    Your call by the way goes to an independent exchange in England.
    Operators then pass on the information to those in Ireland dealing with getting rid of this drugs menace.

    The site for more information is: http://dialtostop.ie

    No. Lazy bastards can go get their own drugs.

    i duno, effort?


    my day to day life isn't affected by drugs and if i do want to take drugs, it's handy to have them there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    I might ring them to find any dealers in my area.

    Like Directory Enquires........ only awesome.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,300 ✭✭✭CiaranC


    God no. The idea is to your drug dealers identity secret, otherwise he might get arrested and you wont be able to buy drugs off him anymore.

    Only to get rid of the competition...

    tbh, finna fail could do with some cocaine at the moment, might give them a bit of confidence and direction...:D

    Dial up and get drugs? That does sound convenient. Especially in this wet, cold season.

    Is there much of a delivery charge? I would consider using this service, as long as the charges were reasonable.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I'd use it myself - if only to help keep the drug scum away from my kids a bit more!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    I'd ring the number before I visit that eyesore of a site again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,530 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    Making it free might make it a bit open to messers.

    \runs to phone

    You're not going to stamp out illegal drug use this way. You'll simply make things worse for all involved at the expense of the tax payer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    It looks like their would be no traceability in case you kept reporting guards or dail members.

    hahahaha whoooo... so you think it's actually physically possible to stop the drugs trade? it will NEVER happen & the war against drugs is a GIANT waste of time.


    it doesn't matter how much they stop, by their OWN admittance they only ever catch a TINY fraction of whats going on.


    The simple fact is people will ALWAYS want to get wrecked on something, booze, fatty foods, cigarettes, ILLEGAL DRUGS (aiiii nooo not them!) - and that DEMAND means there will always be supply. simple as.


    edit; I posted the above due the "stamp it out THIS way" which indicates you think there is ANY way to stop it. nope there ain't, not without a serious "big bro" type government, which I doubt anyone wants.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn!


    I can see this being abused.

    To be honest no I wouldn't use it as i wouldn't know anyone dealing anything more than a little dope.

    If i lived next door to a crack house though id be calling the local station not a hotline.

    Absolutely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Absolutely.

    I don't think he's talking about the drugs, I think he's talking about the phone service.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Zangetsu


    lmao


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I'm sure the gardi just go asking for search warents on the strenght of one tip-off and a judge wouldn't give one either.
    Now if there was 10+ seperate phonecalls mentioning the same info, it would be a different ball bame.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    To report substandard coke, certainly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,214 ✭✭✭wylo


    wouldnt have used it in the past but now I probably would, whatever about the small timers, its the scumbags theyre getting those drugs from are the problem , even hash, plenty of murders involved, and every now and then an innocent person gets in the way and gets shot. No selfish greedy rich scum should be supported.
