Outgoing drugs strategy minister Aodhán Ó’Ríordáin has joined calls for action on the drugs problem after three suspected drug-related deaths in the last week.
Sinn Féin drugs spokesman Jonathan O’Brien said on Wednesday that, last week, a 19-year-old man died from an overdose in Cork.
It followed the deaths of two men in Dublin’s north inner city: One whose body was not discovered for a week at a stairwell in a flats complex and another who died in public toilets in Connolly Station.
“I’m trying to get my head around the fact that three people have died from drugs, something that is killing people on the streets, yet there are no vigils, no protests, no media scrum, no questions to the Taoiseach,” said Mr Ó’Ríordáin.
