Irish people with serious alcohol problems are travelling to the UK to be fitted with a costly "drink pellet", which blocks the "buzz factor" they get from alcohol.
The pellets are inserted into their lower abdomen and can cost more than €1,000 - although the effect wears off after just three months.
However, the procedure can provide a much-needed breathing space that will allow an alcoholic undergo various other treatments.
