Three critically ill after Waterford party

Sully

Looks like a busy night in Waterford!

Three people are critically ill in hospital following a house party in Waterford last night.

A further 13 have received medical treatment.

It is understood that 16 people fell ill after attending the 21st Birthday party at a house in Ballybeg Square in Waterford last night.


Three of the individuals are currently being treated in the intensive care unit at Waterford Regional Hospital.

Gardaí in the city are examining a white substance which was found this morning at the house.

Cocaine obviously. Either that or a bag or sherbet! Whoever is dealing it is going to be in big trouble.

The misfortune of others makes you happy? I feel for the families of these people should anything happen to them. People shouldn't take drugs but at the same time, I'm not going to wish harm on them for doing so. Although I'm sure it's very easy to have a told you so attitude in this situation as it's hard to feel sorry for junkies.

The news headline on Newstalk did'nt mention any drugs angle ao I asumed some dodgy takaway owner was for the high jump.

"Three men critically ill after Waterford party

Three men are critically ill in hospital in Waterford after a suspected bad batch of drugs were allegedly taken at a birthday party. "

Roen

Good enough for them. It was a 21st birthday party, not a 5th birthday party. They knew the risks involved.

I just hope they didn't waste too much time and resources out in the hospital.

the drug supply should be poisened more often, some junkies die off, some junkies get pissed off and have the dealers on the run and dont know who to safely buy from anymore, perhaps if the government intentionaly sent out bad batches of drugs more often it might kill the drugs trade in ireland

Yeah this'd work:rolleyes:

It's amazing how many of the tut tut brigade who think every drug users a junkie will go out and get out of their mind on drink at some stage this week.The fact is the biggest addiction problem in this country is caused by alcohol.Always was and always will be.

don't be silly, alcohol is a good drug.

I don't know if your attempting humour Mordeth.If you are then fair enough but it not then you can say the same about most drugs.Most if not all of them have benign uses or at least were intended that way.

The truth is though that most of the social problems in this country and the UK for that matter are attributable in some shape or form to Alcohol abuse and always have been.I know this sounds like a sweeping statement but its true.If you done a survey of the prisons and mental hospitals in this country you would find the biggest common denominator is alcohol.Likewise road deaths.

I would honestly be happy if alcohol were banned.

Of course everyone who takes drugs is a junkie, wonder is everyone who drinks an alcoholic then ?

Nothing toxic in the substance according to reports. Looks like it was a bad chip.

Excessive alcohol puts someone in IC.

And another thing, excessive alcohol also causes more fights/beatings/injury's.

Actually, the speculation now is that the problem was the purity of the batch - it was better than they were used to. Since most idiots are content with shoving whatever up their nose, when they actually get their hands on a good quality batch, they take five or six lines in a row and end up OD'ing.

I love how the mother who owned the house was interviewed and when asked if she knew about the drugs in the house, she responded with, "Drugs are running this town". :rolleyes:

Someone is still in custody, as said you reap what you sow. I'm not going to spare many of my tears for feckless idiots.

boils my blood if this is true...and I wonder did they pay for such treatment?? Probably not but they can afford the money for a few bags of nose candy.

That just maddens me...

Feckless idiots, I hope they're all charged.

I have been reliably informed, he will be pronounced dead within the next few days. There waiting on a member of the family to travel over to turn of the life support machine.

How reliable ? The family live in Viewmount which is a stones throw from WRH ? And the fella, Gray, he is the one meant to be worse. Waterford rumours Sully. Forgive me if im proven otherwise in the next few weeks. Im hoping he has a speedy recovery. Poor lad, cancer, now this.
