Ireland has one of the highest cocaine death rates

Biggins

Depressing news but something of not much of a shock to be honest.

Ireland has one of the highest cocaine death rates in Europe according to a newly released United Nations drug use report.

“The 2010 World Drugs Report” stated that the use of cocaine in Ireland has reached epidemic levels in the last decade. The figures show that Ireland’s cocaine deaths per 100,000 population was at 0.77. This record is only beaten by Portugal.

No - due to confidentiality restrictions. You want the names and addresses of those involved in submitting reports to the Gardi?

Only pulling your leg, mate. I know you can't do that.

Fair enough.
As acting chairman though of the local residential committee I get advised/informed as to many a going on in the area.
Sadly some of those reports, some of which have come from Gardi sources, has only confirmed to me what I already witnessed myself and suspected also in other incidents.

Realy, was these the days the IRA claimed they were helping residents and fighting to keep drugs out.
All along they were taking sides and trying to get a pay-off for themselves and eliminate opposition

A bit off topic but does anyone know if there are people who got addicted during the goodish times and are now struggling financially? With the supposed high usage, easy to become addicted and high unemployment now, shouldn't this be an issue?

I await any proof or evidence you have to prove that the IRA or any republicans take pay offs from drug dealers.

The first part was right though, they did help residents and kept drugs out.

Luckily we will probably die from liver failure or lung cancer or a drunk driver or a stabbing in a pub before we might die from cocaine.

Lets hope we are so lucky.

Yes I want all drug dealers and users to die, they are a plague on society and only offer burdon and misery, and as usual its the working class comunities that suffer the most from this problem.

To ALL drug users? No matter what that drug is?

Lol, you're hilarious. You want proof of things that go against your argument, and statements that help your argument are fine... That's pretty funny.

ever read the book mr.nice?! in it it tells of how it was the IRA in the south of the country who helped to smuggle vast amounts opf cannabis into ireland through shannon airport, and from ireland then onto the rest of europe. so yes the IRA have and still do have a massive interest in the drugs trade in this country. who is going to speak out against them?really? Was martin cahil ever caught for the beit robberies? no, but everyone and his uncle knows it was him.

Doesn't bother me. If you don't want to take the small risk of dying from cocaine, don't take cocaine.

g5fd6ow0hseima

I wonder whats the death rate for people in countries where the cocaine is of decent quality and not cut with all sorts of uppers / downers / etc... Plus I feel its only the Irish and the English who would go snorting coke when already pissed out of their heads.

How many of these deaths were on conjunction with alcohol? Of course that's probably hidden as nobody dies from alcohol, right?

Whether they did or didn't matters not a jot to me; they are absolute pond-life, and possibly the only organisation on this island more depraved than the drug gangs.

I'm not sure how the figures are in any way worrying, OP. They seem vanishingly small.

So you say, but at the end of the day they were and are men and women who for centuries have been spent years upon years in prison and died selflessly for Irish Unity and the defense of vunrable communities, I hardly call that pond life, what have you done for Ireland betterment lately?

And the likes of Pearse, Clarke, Bobby Sands, are these also pond life?

Comparing the IRA/IRB of the past to its current incarnation is disingenuous at best.

what have you done for Ireland betterment lately?

I haven't imported weapons or murdered anyone.

Until you provide concrete proof that republicans of any shade are not revolutionaries but infact criminals who profit from drug dealing(a very serious allegation considering the IRA has lost hundreds of its members in conflict) then what you say is absolute bullsh*t.

The book you give reference to is written by a man with no credibility due to his criminality, who has been exposed as an outright liar and fantasist probably down to his heavy use of drugs, there are many books like this, mainly by the likes of hacks Paul Williams who like you offer no proof other then from unnamed 'sources'.

The IRA/IRB of the past was hated by the likes of you in their day, so the IRA of today isnt put of by your spiteful attitude Im sure.

And the Brits imported thousands of guns into Ireland to terrorize, why shouldnt Irish be allowed import arms to defend themselves?

Right.
This stops now.
The IRA is an illegal terrorist organisation with innocent blood on its hands. It is recognised as such in Ireland and the UK.
If you post in this thread again I will ban you.

Well, not everyone in the country does cocaine so it's about 30 deaths per year amongst coke users who number about 50,000, so it is quite high. Some fairly shocking figures here from the dublin coroners court
