Living in the inner city the s€um around here have kids as young as 7-8 years old doing it, their own little brothers in some cases. Selling tranax and Xanax day in day out, hoardes of junk1es going into the same gaffs forming queues outside it and the gardai do absolutely nothing. Plenty of people being used as money mules.

Maybe they could issue the same warning about back handers and brown envelopes to the toddlers in the dail, who unlike these kids, are getting well paid with expenses and a pension and yet its still not enough
They could stop taking backhanders themselves to solve the drug problem in our country but hey, who cares.
@Vladimir Macro: lol. Post your numbers of backhanders in the last ten years to support your comment or be gone.
have your say
