    Anyone familiar with Barrack Street with probably know what I'm talking about but I'll have to word this carefully.Within sight of the Alchemy Cafe there is a house up the street where there is what i can only describe as open drug dealing going on.There is a middle aged guy who is constantly standing by the door looking up and down the street and a constant stream of dodgy looking types calling.Sometimes they go into the house with this guy and others they go down an alley running down the side of the house.Its pretty clear whats going on.Are the guards aware of this or doing anything about it?

    Ring them and ask or better again ask the guy at the door if the guards know what he is doing.

    A couple of hundred yards away despite raids in 2013 similar events seem ongoing, of course thst raid yielded little/nothing except some thinking something was being done after a young lad pricked his finger on a syringe.

    Have seen them in action.They seem to be totally unconcerned by the fact anyone passing can see what theyre up to.Wouldn't surprise me if it was Noonans Road but Barrack Street has a good bit of footfall including a lot of tourists since they opened Elizabeth Fort.

    Big money laundering case. Probably the most known family on the north side. I've noticed this house too as I live below it, it's a shame it's happening.

    I live in Deerpark and walk past this dodgy scene fairly often. I thought they were just a rough family hanging out on the street outside their house. Never saw any deals going down, but in hindsight, yes, that's probably what was going on. Fairly dodgy looking place even in broad daylight!

    Somebody told me about this thread, so I joined boards to give my input!! Glad to know it's not just me that observed this man and place, I honestly used have a laugh and a joke with my sister about this initially, as we live on Barrack St, but that was before I realised that it was real!!!! He is totally creepy, always bloody singing or whistling when he's standing at the door. [snipped]

    And why do you think they do nothing about it ?
    I know the answer myself but it would be nice to see others figure it out.

    Can the landlord who owns the building be penalised for allowing the house to be used for this activity.I assume this guy is renting.

    Theres another guy with him a lot who is deffo his sidekick.Large stocky fella about thirty with an oversized head ,not the brightest looking.Saw him standing at the door blocking this junkie looking lad who was about to go in then after yer man said something he let him in.Acting as muscle/bodyguard for the older guy I'd say.Also at least some of those young kids who are always there seem to be his.

    Word of caution, lack of evidence could potentialy get you into trouble, just take in what you write. Nothing wrong with standing outside your door, the guy could be suffering from agriphobia!!
    If however he is doing what you all suspect he's doing, what you are implying could be used get his case dismissed, fair trial and all that sort of stuff. The gardai have to have a greater burden of proof than what you people are applying here.They may already be watching him, it may not be him they are after, there could bigger fish that they are after.
    If you feel that strongly about it go to your local Garda and complain, if they are getting lots of complaint's they'll do something about it.

    This guy seems to be keeping a low profile lately.Haven't seen him standing outside the house in at least a week now or any of those kids who are normally around though when I passed today the door was ajar.Wonder did someone have a word with him?

    I got involved on the 96fm Facebook post about this, I got called everything under the sun and threatened by members of the family. They are been victimised they said . No one mentioned their names yet they were on defending themselves. They are dumb or don't give a **** or both.

    There's one female family member in particular posting there who's being a right knack. The state of her in her profile pics, ugly snapchat filter effects galore.

    I'd actually been wondering about that. Few heads around town who look like junkies but most certainly don't have that ehm...chilled out heroin vibe. Anyone selling that needs to be dealt with severely, they caught a lab up in Dublin, seems the cartels are shipping in people with the know how from Eastern Europe.

    Meant to be extremely difficult to make here unlike America due to the chemicals needed.
