Absolutely devastating and powerful testimony by @MalachySteenson on the drugs scourge and the push for liberalisation for drugs that are killing young people and leading family members to be beaten, intimidated and squeezed to pay the debts of addicted family members. Ireland is now a top-5 global leader in cocaine use. Those pushing for liberalisation of Ireland's drug laws are either benefitting from the drug crisis - through funding for their NGOs - are happily oblivious because the problem hasn't reached their doorstep - yet, or engage in a little recreational habit themselves on the weekend. I was shocked to hear the degree to which drugs - particularly cocaine - has taken hold of rural Co. Clare on my most recent trip back. Full support for Cllr. Steenson on this. 👇👇👇
