Cocaine Has Devastated All Aspects Of Life In Clare

A Clare rehabilitation centre claims Cocaine has infiltrated and devastated all aspects of daily life in this county. A spotlight is being shone once again on the illegal drugs trade in this country, following the largest seizure in the history of the state earlier this week, when 2.2 tonnes of cocaine was seized off the Cork Coast after a joint taskforce raided the container ship MV Mathew. In the last year meanwhile, Clare has seen a 38% increase in offences relating to the sale or supply of illegal drugs. Polydrug Initiative Co-Ordinator at Bushypark, Maurice Crowe says gangs enforcing cocaine debts are ripping Irish society apart.
