Ye, I think the reason for most amputations in heroin addicts is gangrene from dirty needles. Heroin also extremely ****s up your circulation and collapses veins. Nasty stuff.

I was in town today after an exam and noticed a big Garda presence around Lower Abbey St/ Marborough St area. I was waiting for my bus at the Lotto office and there were lots of vans, lads on the beat and on the bicycles.
Seemed to have a big impact only counted about 6 junkies around which is a lot less then normal.

Seen it a good few times now where they just go down in one big wave and they seemed to be searching every addict around. Certainly had an effect while they were doing it.

True, pure Heroin does a lot of damage on it's own, but the crap it's mixed with makes it even worse.

There seem to be a lot of junkies (and general alcoholic smelly shouting tracksuit-wearing people) hanging around between Abbey Street/Liberty Hall and Tara Street DART station.

The worst thing is that there's usually at least one woman in the group holding a buggy with a baby in it. I feel very sad for those children, spending their earliest years surrounded by a group of aggressive, drunk junkies.

I was wondering about why so many are suddenly hanging outside Tara St station these days; I hadn't noticed that previously.

Many of them were those babies, 20 years ago.

Indeed, thus the cycle continues. Sadder still!

Back when I lived just off Dorset Street for a year or so, I looked out the window one day as a mother passed, talking on her mobile phone, followed by two young boys (maybe 2 and 3 years old), followed by the tall and very aggressive father who shouted over the heads of the two boys "you're a stupid ****in' cow". One of the boys turned in surprise, probably thinking "is that how we talk to each other?"

Passed through the same area about a month ago, and happened to see two junkie women roaring and fighting each other, one of them dragging the other by the hair, in front of her own child who was in a buggy, while her husband stood and watched passively. I stepped in and told them both to stop, two or three times. They ignored me and the hair pulling woman's husband said "it's alright, I'm her husband", as if it all made sense.
Not a great place to live :rolleyes:

There's always loads around the newsagent at the corner of Westmoreland street. They usually go into the phonebox beisde the junction at O'Connell bridge to deal.

I see them every single day when going to/from work.

While waiting on my bus in the evenings, the amount of junkies / bums that need change to have a cup of tea is phenomenal.

I saw at least 20 of them on Monday outside Tara st street station on Monday, and they were visibly dealing. It was like an open air drugs market.

There's two methadone clinics within a 5 minute walk from Tara Street station,so they probably hang around here before/after they get their methadone to buy whatever pills/gear they need to keep them going.

Pure heroin (diamorphine), afaik, does not contribute to the type of damage we are talking about here. Unless you know different....

Its always crawling with junkies around there. Has been going on for years. They attend Trinity House methadone clinic and then come down Townsend St and Luke St.

Go shove a .... up your... I'm sure you can work the rest out.

Got off a bus at Abbey St last Thursday. It really is like running a gauntlet - various groups of them arguing between each other and shouting over to other groups. I passed by one girl standing there just asking every passer by have they got a smoke, like some sort of robot.

It's been a while since I got a bus into town but in that area of Abbey/Talbot/Marlborough St it really does seem to have gotten worse.

I run a business on Abbey Street and today somebody came in and told one of the staff that there's a meeting about this in the Mansion house on wednesday. Anyone hear anything about that? Can't find it online...

just back from town there and was amazed at some the things i had witnessed as iv never spent so much time there waiting around.
it was at the board walk eden quay
i stood there with a friend who was waiting for a bus for over an hour (the side that bus's go south)
it seemed the junkies would walk up and down looking for a snatch, one guy walked up and back down and stood rite beside some women with her phone out texting
he stopped beside her put his hat down then took his jumper off and then bent down pretending to mess with his shoe while looking up at her and
then picked up his hat and jumper and stood there scratching his head waiting for the rite time but the women luckily put the phone away in time.
he had stood there for a good 6-7 min
is it all ways like that on that side of the road my side is the other side never really see anything happen there except a few hanging at the corner

The hell. If you can get up and into town by 8:30am, you can pretty much achieve anything. How can they have the self-discipline to be out of bed and in town that early, but get strung out on drugs?

Methadone clinics open around 10am, those who can't wait that long take heroin then sell the methadone.
