The deaths last week of three heroin addicts in Kilkenny and one in Carlow has provoked an outpouring of grief from the local community, and has served to refocus public attention on community support services.
The extent of Kilkenny’s drug problem — and more specifically, heroin problem — is now becoming widely acknowledged as a result of the tragedies.
Speaking while in Kilkenny last week, Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin told the Kilkenny Advertiser that he was shocked to hear that there had been four drug-related deaths in the constituency in just one week.
