    What clinic is near O Connell Street?

    Where would they be put instead?

    Can't imagine anyone being happy with a centre in their area.

    I worked in Briodys around 2006/7, that's how I can recall it. The article is from 2010. It could be closed years at this stage.

    They're mostly from horrible backgrounds from horrible areas surrounded by horrible people and no one ever really cared about them. When heroin addiction is where you end up I'd probably be pretty angry with the world too.


    according to a specialist in the midlands prison (shown on RTE recently). Most of these lads on drugs are not from sad backrounds as you say..lots are bored and do what the crowd do, then it's a gateway drug habit for one please and they're on the smack!

    I would have leaned towards your opinion as I've heard of horrendous circumstances which would lead me to drugs to be honest, anything to dull the pain..BUT.. it's not nearly the case according to this lad who see's a lot of it.

    What's his name, and what was the programme, do you know?

    I'm sure you'll appreciate it's difficult to avoid being skeptical about that.

    There is a clinic on Castle St accros the road from Christchurch and Jurys Hotel. Good area for tourists and addicts to mingle.

    Showing our visitors a bit of the auld Dublin charm. The liffey boardwalk is also a lovely spot for the tourists to mingle and perhaps share a flagan.

    Personally I don't see a problem with it. I actually admire the more aggressive approach, It shows ambition. I bet they make a ton more money than just sitting in the same spot. I mean, as long as they don't resort to abusive or violent behavior, I'm perfectly fine with it. This approach is accepted with ambitious sales agents in retail or car dealerships, so why not the homeless.

    Because the chances of a salesman sticking you with a HIV+ pen which you wouldn't buy is quite minimal.

    C'mon, Don't be so precious. When was the last time a member of the public was infected with HIV by a homeless person? I'm not taking about threats or attacks
    (Which I'm totally not on board with).

    Send me some statistics on when a person was last infected by a homeless person.

    I was walking down Dame Street the other evening behind two of them, a man and a woman.

    She glanced over her shoulder and saw me and like a reflex in the mid sentence talking to her companion said to me "spare change love" and went back talking to the guy without waiting for a response from me.

    She was better than the lad who shouted at me at Jervis Luas stop that he hoped I had no kids who ended up on the street and that I was "a f**king disgrace".
