Ireland combats crack and cocaine | DW Documentary
Cocaine and crack cocaine are spreading across Ireland—and not just in the capital Dublin, but in more rural areas as well. How did this happen, and what is being done to combat it?
International drug smugglers are increasingly setting their sights on Ireland. According to a report by the U.S. State Department, the western Irish coast is regarded as a gateway to Europe. The police, coastguard, navy and customs officials are struggling to secure the fjords and bays, which are difficult to control. People are already referring to County Cork as the Cocaine Coast. The powdery drug can be bought almost everywhere—even in the countryside and small villages. And an increasing number of Irish residents are battling addiction. A report by Killian Bayer.

You need ibogaine Ireland
Cocaine is a drug that eats you up from the inside. Kind of like what a termite can do to a wooden building. You see nothing, but meanwhile it’s eating you up from the inside until one day you collapse into a frail pile of dust. Hollywood has been glamorising it for decades….. go figure….
Cocaine and knives?
As an American, that sounds lovely.
Here, we are losing 100,000, mostly young folks, to Fentanyl overdoses per year. Many cities have open-air drug markets. Children have access to automatic weapons. And they commit mass murders in their schools.
"Only that man is free that is in control over himself"
Dublin is a bizzar city, only a bit over one million people living but totally divided like a few different ethnics live in one city.
Now Ireland is full of money out of tax haven economy but all those benefits go only to the handful of middle class people.
In the Dublin city center most people are so called jungkies, they are relying on social welfare, lots are homeless. They take drugs day and night, never have any proper jobs.
Very sadly, these people have had this kind of lives from generation to generation and they have been totally isolated.
Irish government has a savage cruelty that they never tried to tackle these problems or make programs to help people with addiction.
Irish government totally abandoned them.
The young girl saying you don’t know who doing cocaine. Trust me, we know.
Crack is a plague in Brazil. It destroys the humanity of the user, the person become a zombie looking for more, sim robbing their moms, people that before we’re peace become violent. Crack addicts very fast and it destroy the person, physically and mentally. I heard from a social worker that most of the time the only way out of crack addiction is death. I hope Ireland can control it before it becomes a social tragedy like it is in Brazil.

Nice introduction documentary about drug epidemic (coccain ) in Ireland 🇮🇪. How coccain hunters highly class youths and depressed poor youths..in Ireland 🇮🇪…thanks for sharing
It all started when the wef let bath salts be sold in shops all over the west.
As somebody raised in Ireland cocaine is more common than tobbaco or weed
Horrible weather and economic hardships
Those who have infected Europe need to be held accountable……
If only it was just about partying. Last week in Dublin the Gardai did a drugs bust and what they found was a woman being tortured by a group of 8 males (one a minor). She was taken to hospital with very severe injuries and it sounds like she's lucky to be alive.
I don't mess about with that stuff, not because of the ill-effects of the substance so much as the people involved in the supply. Not worth it. The crime in Dublin is brutal.
A wee bit of the ole' crack.
🤔 I thought 💭 …
Bad Government policy, open borders, Corruption, it's the same story as America. Wake up people…..
I wish people who see drugs as a sort of “racial problem” could see this to learn addiction doesn’t discriminate…
the first time I tried cocaine…..I wondered why not all people use it daily
Tobacco is a gateway drug, and smoking-tobacco is one of the great killers. It should be illegal.
crack is wack
Gingervitis
, dubs are walking streets on crack and cocaine, same time lads in cork are getting in trouble for smoking a joint.
Please help people 🙏 keep away from drugs
The self avoidant, vicarious, and self sacrificing lifestyle is destroying us from the inside out…
Free from drugs
Just see Connor mcgregor
Living in Mexico (Magdalena) 30 years ago on a ranch, everyone did Cocaine, even the 92 year old matriarch (boss). People who partied too much, mostly alcohol, were considered the addicts to stay away from..
I am a fan of the channel but it is frustrating and you somehow lose credibility when you repeat the same documentary without any mention, especially since you encourage viewers to be cautious about algorithms.
Used to work over there couldnt even find a bud
Great video DW. Please focus on quality videos like this and STOP making your leftwing propaganda videos. Thank you.
Addiction, especially chemical, does not discriminate – it's similar to a key being used to unlock an unknown door, which was unseen beforehand.
It's critical for countries to emphasise preventative efforts, just as much as penalizations for those increasing domestic quantities, while treating the addicted asap.
It's certainly a scourge and spreads like wildfire, descemating everything in its vicinity.
Don't do drugs unless you get them for free, kids.
Me lucky charms
