Irish youth are fourth highest cocaine users in Europe

IRELAND HAS the fourth highest use of cocaine among 15 to 24-year-olds in Europe, a report released yesterday has found.

The annual report of the European Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction found almost 4 per cent of 15 to 24-year-olds used cocaine last year.

Denmark had the highest rate, with 5.6 per cent, Spain had 5.4 per cent and the rate was 5 cent in the UK. The lowest rate for cocaine use was found in Romania, which had 0.1 per cent.

Ireland was also among those countries with the highest prevalence of drug-related deaths. It was fifth in Europe, with 57 drug-induced deaths per million of population, behind Luxembourg, Estonia, Norway and Denmark.

Treatment demand for cocaine use had increased dramatically in Ireland in the last eight years. In 2001, 81 people reported cocaine use as their main drug problem, while the figure for 2008 was 775.

The recent rise of Charge, Ivory Wave, and other cocaine like "Bath Salts" only adds to the problem.

You had to be on something to think that all that 'Celtic Tiger' BS would last forever.

Ireland's a smuggling transit/distribution centre to Europe and the middle East from the America's. Dublin has a fairly large deep water port and my understanding is that it's expanding, in part because Ireland's a neutral, non-allied state.

Actually a high rate of cocaine use can be a sign of a good economy. Celtic Tiger indeed...

The paramilitary fraternity have all had links to drugs and criminality of all sorts , their legacy will be with us for sometime to come.

As far as RIRA becoming enforcers on the drug dealers , that is the pot calling the kettle black.
PIRA did the same and in the North the Loyalists played poacher and game keeper as far as drugs went.


Native, I don't think they would tolerate interlopers.


Those who have come here with criminal intent have brought their own interests with them , prostitution being a big money earner.
