Silent?
It’s everywhere and doing lines in bathrooms is definitely not silent!

>Perhaps most damning is the Irish Government’s refusal to heed the clear recommendations of its own Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use. In January 2024, after months of deliberation involving 100 citizens, over 130 expert speakers, and 800 public submissions, the Citizens’ Assembly delivered 36 comprehensive recommendations. Their central message was unequivocal: Ireland must ”pivot from the status quo to a comprehensive health-led response to drugs, including decriminalisation for people found in possession of drugs for personal use”.
>The Assembly’s report was followed by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Drugs Use, which published its interim report in October 2024, backing the Assembly’s recommendations and calling for decriminalisation of all illicit drugs for personal use. Both bodies, representing extensive democratic consultation and cross-party political agreement, have provided the Government with a clear roadmap for reform.

Walk around the quays and you see crack being smoked everywhere

Friendly reminder every single party had a change in drug policy in their general election manifesto except Fine Gael and Simon Harris.
He dismissed the Citizen’s Assembly, expert evidence, and international best practice because his mates in the Gardai are against it and then made it a red line issue in government formation talks.

I don’t think Irelands hidden epidemic is smoking crack cocaine. Could they not have used a white line? Basic understanding here

What’s with the picture showing someone doing crack?

Silent or normalised?
Out recently and a couple other customers got pissed off I needed to use the toilet that was annoyingly installed in the cocaine room.

crack use is rife in my area. it can go hand in hand with heroin use off the foil or in a pipe. not necessarily intravenous use. crack is the new weed. it’s everywhere now. i’d say 40% – 60% of people around my area smoke crack, either heavily or recreationally at weekends etc.

Silent makes it sound like no one is aware. Thats the opposite of the actual situation, it is an open epidemic, almost to the point of being an incentivized act if you work on pubs.

If you go to any pub or GAA club social night, there’s nothing silent about it.

There’s nothing silent about it at all. It’s nearly as common as people smoking fags on a night out now.
