Crack cocaine ‘massive threat to inner city’

THE spread of crack cocaine is the greatest threat facing Dublin’s north inner city, drugs campaigner and independent TD Tony Gregory said yesterday.

He warned that if it continued to spread throughout the drug-using community there would be a crisis equal to, if not worse than, the heroin crisis of the early 1990s.

He was commenting at the launch of the annual report of the Community Policing Forum in the north-east inner city.
