    I've just deleted a load of nonsense posts - please do not engage with the obvious stirring going on.

    Alanwrats, do not post in this thread again.

    I wouldn't say I was stirring....i mention things on the topic and get challenged and it goes off topic if you look at my posts I repeatedly said said let's get back on to the issue....ps hope all goes well tomorrow for the March as ppl stated before it's going to go quite for a while.....

    Although it’s nothing to do with Ireland gangland, the same day Keane was brutally murdered, in my suburbs of the city of Sheffield, a 12 year old boy was shot in a drive-by shooting.

    The background to the dispute is very similar to the feud in Drogheda, only the dickhead has been arrested/charged and remanded in prison until his trial.

    Society is well an truly f#####

    Agreed on the March, hopefully it stays quiet and the peaceful people get to live their normal lives again without thinking what madness will happen next. Communities can show drugs the door as seen in times gone past.

    I can only give an opinion based of my community! but don’t you think communities are so diverse nowadays, people don’t seem to come together for the greater good?

    I feel we live in a selfish society

    Like where? The people who sell them change, the product remains.

    true, and putting down harsher sentences does not work either in reality, just look at US 3 strikes and your put in prison for life.

    Totally, most communities are not real communities anymore but for the area to be safe everyone has that goal so that's a common cause no matter what your diverse background is.

    Correct!

    As a Police officer said to me once, for every dealer we arrest, 2-3 more are waiting in the wings. It’s like a game of Whack-a-Mole for the Police.

    Communities can work with the police and added with that harsher sentences, there needs to be a certain cap to offences and then get a mandatory sentence once that threshold is reached. There needs to be a fully functioning plan for communities to feel safe and confident in rejecting these drugs dealers, starts with government back and policies filtered through the Garda and then into communities.

    Then policies need to be tightened, it's not an endless supply of dealers, the bigger the sentences the bigger the deterrent, look at how they dismantled Limerick, it can be done, not easy nor fast but with a long term strategy that stays like that even when it quietens down. Nothing worse then hassle hassle and disruption everywhere you turn.

    There needs to be harsher sentences for users. Caught out on a weekend with a gram of coke ? Fair enough 3 years in prison.

    As an ex weekend user I would have quit alot sooner if the penalty was more than a slap on the wrists. Cut of demand is the only way to go

    It's hard to have a long term plan when there are different leaders/partys changing every few years. No matter how good some methods are working there will be some new president that will change it anyway

    And where would you put these 1000s of people that would get caught first to set the example?

    Should be written into Irish law where a vote can only be made by the people of governments want to change it, there has to be a way to make these things stick. It's the only way, if ppl are going to get into it they have to know there's consequences, like teaching a child from a young age. Otherwise they won't stop to think.

    They obviously have to tighten up but also politicians should take some blame.....it looks to me like some estates in ireland the government dont bother with and leave peaple to it like the wild west but tuckd away from the big citys and it's like the local councils in some places just let rubbish build up. But this is just an opinion from afar

    looks like someone will be having a cell search...

    A CRAZED thug who works as muscle for Mr Flashy’s gang poses alongside his “brother” behind bars — who’s facing a firearm and ammunition rap.

    The Irish Sun’s exclusive behind-the-bars pic shows Scott Capper, who is serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence, using a smartphone to grab a snap with a pal from Dublin.

    You're right and that's the worst thing cause then it takes a whole lot more to manage when it combusts then. The waste of money from Garda having to police an area in the aftermath of what happened is sickening for the tax paying law abiding citizens of the country. No matter where you're from we all count in this country.

    It would take someone like Trump to really combat this problem.

    Imagine if all these major growers across the world feared total loss on the production if allies across the globe really focused on drugs? If they wanted to solve this problem they could, but our world is full of people looking for a quiet life.

    If every leader had Rodrigo Duterte’s approach to drugs, although maybe tone it down a little, we might start changing the next generation.

    Yeah the late 80s early 90's in the flats. Few local dealers had to move and then back to business. Pushers out and all that codology? If there was a ever a war on drugs, drugs won hands down 30 years ago.

    All the rest is candy coating from TD's. You can fill as many prisons you like and throw away ever key, won't change a thing. It's all been done and failed.

    It's about prevention. Active policing, not waiting until after the fact.

    I think naming and shaming in the papers for first offence and sentencing for 2nd would be sufficient.

    No one would want their employer and family knowing they are on the bag.
