Dublin community with the power to take on an international drug cartel

People in North inner city Dublin are afraid and but work against the odds to tackle issues, writes Joyce Fegan

THERE are some things bullets cannot penetrate. There are some people who criminals, living in mansions in far away lands, cannot buy. And there are some places where community spirit has the power to take on an international drug cartel. Dublin’s north inner city is one of those places.

We hear about areas like North Cumberland St, Buckingham St, and Sheriff St. They’re somewhere in the north inner city, an imagined no-go zone just off O’Connell St, between Croke Park and Busáras.
