A simple solution to this problem would be to legalise the drugs.
What village in Kerry? That’s outrageous I must go down and clear those nooks and crannys
That’s an alternative type of tourism marketing I guess.
One of the biggest issues that rural areas of the country face is a genuine lack of hobbies for people, both young and old, and so they turn to one thing for recreation: substance abuse.
You see the same old farts in the local every night drinking their life away. Meanwhile the young fella in school is snorting lines of coke with his friends.
Then make it legal and tax it.
Give scumbags one less avenue to make more money than Joe Soap.
If I was wanting to convince the government to do it, my pitch would be “a system to continually plunder Irish people through extortionate rent has likely contributed to increased drug use in this country. Why not make money off of this too?”
Edit: I don’t use drugs myself. But I hate to see lads I went to school with contributing nothing making a living off this
A wide variety of recreational mind altering drugs have been used in basically every regional, cultural, socio-economical demographic worldwide throughout history. Why would Kerry be any different.
Need the address to confirm
Something something Portugal system
Theyvraise the point that two-thirds of the DUIs in Kerry are alcohol related in order to try and portray the other drugs are abusive….?
Oh now I get that joke in the other thread.
This sub is like inception, lads.
Let boys be boys, a bit of coke on the weekend never hurt anybody.
It’s not just rural areas that lack accessible facilities or things to do. Dublin is just the same. Everything costs money now. Bar the free museums. But there’s only so many times you can go to them. Humans need variety. We thrive on it.
My 13 yo nephew asked me what it was like growing up in the 80’s and 90’s for kids his age because we seen a fight in the McDonalds in the ILAC SC last night. Basically a few teenagers taking up seats and not eating. Looking for somewhere to hang out. There was a row because the place was packed and people asked for the seats.
I despair for not just this country but society in general.
We I (40) was 13 we just hung out on the road or played football on the field. Lived in a housing estate in Coolock.
There is literally nothing to do anymore. Pub to catch up with mates etc isn’t doable anymore because we are broke. Even a coffee costs a 5er.
Where is an inch a line?
Where kerrymaid is made
Haven’t visited Kerry in a while must do so.
Ban drugs now!
Every village in Ireland.
Legalise all drugs.
More like the feckin Animal Kingdom down there
>the meeting in Tralee heard from Cllr Norma Moriarty, Fianna Fáil, of Waterville in south Kerry.
>Illegal drugs were appearing in “every nook and cranny of our county”, she said.
The headline is not a fact, it’s an opinion from one person, and clearly a gross exaggeration
Only figured this out now eh?
That’s how drugs work. They are a universal consistency in every culture. You cannot get rid of them without a closed off society that heavily shuns them and has been for generations
Yerra, that’s they it’s always been, shur how do you think we’d get through the days down here at t’all without the dhrugs.
Actual footage of county Kerry (2022)
It’s the legal ones that they should be watching out for.
Truly is the kingdom. Hope they’re all enjoying their drugs. God bless, merry Christmas.
