    I meant to ask you on the last thread, did you register on politics.ie just to join their discussion on Alison? If you did I tip my hat to you. That's commitment to the cause.

    Hey Alison!

    Apartment owners in the Hanover Street area in the Dublin Docklands were the target of "snow blow" drug dealers last week who strategically placed a free sample of the drug at front doors late one night to attract a new breed of addicts.
    Love it for all the wrong reasons. I was under the impression that young professionals were a new 'breed of addicts' in the late 90s when cocaine became rampant. A bit late on the uptake there Alison.

    Would the strong wind constantly blowing abruptly around Hanover Quay not just blow the sample drugs away from their doorsteps?
    :confused:

    Anyone got a pic of this pleb.

    Can't pinpoint her on Google.
    Her writing is bad enough, we don't need to worry what she looks like

    Chris Rock has a good bit about this. The notion of the aggressive drug dealer pushing drugs onto innocent citizens is bull****. Dealers don't need to sell drugs. Drugs sell themselves.

    Silly woman, everyone knows that this drug is actually called 'Cake', and the health benefits that she just briefly skims over is that it actually affects the Shatners Bassoon area of your brain and gives you Czech neck.

    Does this Mel MacGiobun actually exist? Google only brought up other links to this article on different websites and no links to the NICDTF website when I searched his name. Also, if Hanover Street is where she lives (I think that was mentioned in past articles) and she's just stated that drug dealers are hanging around the area, hasn't she just driven the value of her apartment even lower?

    Small update; googling Mel MacGiobun and NICDTF only brings up my post, nothing else. Either Alison spelt the name wrong (very possible) or they are another made up person (even more possible). Not surprised at her making up names and quotes but she should know better than to connect fake names to real organisations. If anyone else finds out that this MacGiobun person is real please post up the info, but atm I'm calling this another imaginary friend of Alison's.

    Is it possible to contact the organisation in question and find out if this person exists/is associated with the organisation?

    he's listed down the bottom as a co-ordinator. That's disappointing that he actually exists.

    I love the way she mentions "acute health problems" and doesn't elaborate further. Surely with this scaremongering sh1t the least she could do is back herself up with easily obtained hard facts. Very sloppy work.

    She also states that it has been "proven" to cause acute problems yet again doesn't give any further info. Probably because it's made up.

    Is the Independent becoming Irelands answer to the Daily Mail?

    Wait.

    Wait.

    Wait.

    Hang on.

    Just one second.

    There's someone just giving out drugs?

    For free?

    Seriously?

    For free?

    And anyway, if you huff random powders you find, you deserve what you get.

    Anyone got her email handy? I might send her some bull**** and see will she print it. Something along the lines of being a dealer and wanting to give my side of the story. I'll turn up dressed as Huggy Bear and see does she do the interview anyway.

    A similar story a couple of weeks ago by Cormac Byrne in the Herald with some quotes from MacGiobun. Maybe Alison's investigation involved reading an article in an old newspaper. Great work if you can get it.

    FFS how does she get away with such blatant plagarism? Whole paragraphs lifted word for word, while any useful info in the Herald article is dropped. Looks like the only thing she contributed was her made up bull**** about drugs being left in Hanover Street. What an abolute idiot.

    Remember everybody, when you use up your free drugs, wash out the baggy and leave it on your doorstep so the drugman can collect it when he leaves tomorrows fresh delivery.

    Its up to all of us to recycle responsibly.

    She didn't even read the article correctly :rolleyes: It said they were handing out samples of sleeping tablets, not something that has trebled in price :rolleyes:

    And then she tries to link her gaf in hanover street with professionals :rolleyes: absolute imbecile, I'd expect that shyte in the sun or the mirror.
