    Fo sho, but if we start throwing everyone in prison like the post I quoted that wouldn't be long changing. The other post I wanted to quote at the same time wouldn't work (I think because it got carded).

    Along with very limited detox beds .

    Methadone, also known as liquid handcuffs.


    Much better would be more plain-clothes gardai

    Then when one of the addicts harasses someone, grabs someones phone etc , they can be beaten to a pulp

    This would filter the normal addicts from the violent ones

    I live in hope I’ll someday read of a mass fatal poisoning of the junkie filth via their product supply. The occasional occurrence on a small scale in other countries already delights me. I’d be ecstatic to hear that hundreds of them here overdosed and died in the space of a couple of days.

    Good for nothing human waste.

    Bloody right you are.

    The same way a deer that’s been smacked by a jeep and had its hind quarters run over and crushed needs help.

    Most people are afraid of their life to venture around the Talbot Street/Abbey Street area, where you see open street dealing in broad daylight and junkies strung out of their head in nearly every doorway. Ironically enough Store Street Garda Station is only around the corner and they don't seem interested whatsoever in what goes on around their doorstep.

    :pac: Afraid of their life's. You need to do some travelling if you think Dublin is rough. Bless.

    Thinking of tourists stepping outside Connolly Station or walking along our boardwalk makes me cringe with embarrassment. Let's be honest now, the North inner city is an absolute hole.

    You rarely see or hear any quiet junkies, they mostly seem to be mouthy, roaring feckers with leather vocal chords and sliotars for gonads, I thought that was meant to be advantageous for life.

    Agree with that tbh. Used to not have a problem with them and thought they were harmless enough but now whenever you walk by and ignore the begging theyll ask another few times and try to get in your face, and if just ignore it and walk on by them theyll mutter' ah arsehole' or something along those lines, didnt listen out but Im sure it wasnt something friendly, not very nice to be around really.

    The Guards aren't interested, end of story. They've neither the ability not the inclination to address the problem. Some form of private security, particularly for the Board Walk and adjacent seating areas should be employed.

    These zombies aren't long hanging around private property before they're moved on. They've no such issue on public property because they know the Guards aren't interested

    There are gangs killing each other for a share of the patch.
    So what hope has a poor unfortunate on the lower echelons
    of surviving without robbing,conning or begging?
    Not saying it's right, but that's how I see it.

    I got zero sympathies for junkies... more so in a country that has it good on social welfare. If they want to re.ain homeless that's on them.

    Methadone clinics should never have been put near O’ Connell Street. Junkies and homeless should be moved on by the guards around the city centre. Tourists shouldn’t be exposed to this on a visit to our capital.

    Not easy being addicted to anything, especially hard drugs. However, yes we shouldn’t be expected to pay for their bag of smack. Having said that I’ve seen documentaries about the U.S. where junkies get their money from begging, so it’s not unique to Ireland.
