Heroin strory

Six Deaths in Four Hospitals

Its in the line of an announcement- having lived through the 'H' problem in the
eighties and nineties, sometimes a bad batch comes in-( in fact its not good
at all). BUT there have been six heroin related deaths in Dublin in seven
days.

The story is on http://www.ireland.com


The people who are dying are in the twenties and thirties. It has also been on the radio.
Tony Gregory is blaming predatory crime gangs; and tests are being carried out to find
what its cut with.

There were multiple deaths in Dublin during the 'lean' years. Bodies of kids found
in lanes (glue-sniffing) its something that comes with the two-tier society
of the right-wing. deprivation and isolation are part of the problem, meanwhile the nobs
do charlie and most of our 50 euros are impregnated with it.

There won't be a lot on this in the mainstream media- its embarrassing for the
government when people start dying because there are little in the way of supports
and desperate people will buy any shit.

There are four more people suffering in Beaumont hospital as a result of the contaminated
batch of heroin. The authorities are examining toxicology and blood chemicals, but the
people who will speak say it's the old demon that bedevilled the eighties- rat-poison.

ie- big crime.

Now:- no-one is speaking about ten (so far) victims of contaminated heroin, yet
Minister Mc Dowell is all over the tv stating that the Radiological institute of
Ireland is examining planes, conference centres and hotels for 'traces'
of pluonium in relation to V.I.P Mr Gaider.

A quick trawl through the justice spokespersons web-pages and no evidence of
any statement (released or not ) about ten heroin casualties- 6 dead, 4 survivors
(so far).

Joe Costello is busy bolstering the government on the rights of the child.
he shares a constituency with Bertie. Joe doesn't talk about much, he
walks a thin line. Last in indy.ie in relation to allegations of 'tampering'
with civil law evidence in relation to the Goose pub.

Of course , the allegations were not proven, but one can extrapolate here
that:

1.The ordinary people of the grass-root in some constituencies live in fear
of big crime and the TD's studiously avoid issues like heroin death.

2.It's not on the Minister for Justice's radar either.
every single item in this country in the justice 'arena' is on the dept website.

The crime gangs seem to have a lot of 'elbow' in relation to media coverage,
the news this am seems to cover the storms and the road rage incident in RTE.

Tony Gregory TD is the only spokesperson talking about this issue.
is it that no-one cares or is it that no-one wants to go there- because,
despite a perceived 'strong' minister for justice, gangland is carving up the city
and Mickey's focus is on his 'public' face - immigration, sex, gardai, petty crime
and brutalising peaceful protestors?

* The woman who attacked a girl in the Goose pub- in Minister Ahern's constituency
was arrested for an 8 million haul of 'H' and let off three days later.

Nothing on the radar-
