Replying To yew_tree: "Drug gangs are the greatest scourge on this country. Their filth have infested every single village and town on this island. Ironically there appears to be a wall of silence around it. Intimidation of families who have a family member with a drug debt is common knowledge.
There should be a much bigger debate around this." 100% you used to associate it with inner city now as you said it's rampant everywhere

If there was no demand there'd be no supply.

Replying To jm25: "On a separate note seen a great post today enquiring when are the heroes with tri colours heading to Offaly to protest" I was just thinking that same thing the other day. Like aside from anything else, I can't help thinking that story isn't getting the headlines relative to the atrocity it was. A poor young child and his grand aunt. Completely innocent. Fair play to the local soccer club for organising the vigil. Where is the activism and outrage among these right wingers about drugs and specifically the cocaine scourge now everywhere in the country (it's a rhetorical question really because a lot of the "patriots" are knee deep in it). The levels of addiction and drug debt intimidation is off the charts and it is not restricted to age or social grouping anymore. Drug gangs have their reach into every village in the country. It is frightening what has happened to some small towns.

Replying To veterngaa: "The point stands. They are glorified as this team that has won all around them when in reality they have massively under achieved on the Ulster circuit. When they lose on Saturday it will be 3 in a row lost." Personally, I'll never be able to see a place as small as Kilcoo as being under achievers due to 'only' winning two Ulster clubs and an all Ireland. They are the ultimate over achievers.
Underachievement would be if a club had say, 4 villages combined, the most registered players in Ulster in 2023, and also transferred in an intercounty player from a club 20 minutes down the road, and still not having an Ulster medal.

Main gangs now are smart enough to avoid heroin. As Bon says their customer base is huge. Weed smoking working class - you literally smell it everywhere- to coke in more "respectable" and younger.
Anyone who buys any illegal drugs has share in Edenderry. Same as if supermarket chains were burning rivals houses.
