And also the fact that abbey street has Ana Liffey project on it, I feel embarrassed that tourists see Ireland as this 'city of junkies' but I also feel for the people who suffer addiction. One thing- methadone clinics which issue 'phy' etc don't facilitate poly-drug users and clearly the gvnt. couldn't giving a hoot about the drug users in the cities because they seem to encourage methadone as a treatment and it seems doctors running clinics etc are only too happy to give it out!!
