Drug trade worth over €6m to city dealers

WATERFORD’S illegal drugs trade is worth up to €6.6 million a year to dealers in the city, a new report reveals.

Community workers claim it’s possible to get any type of illegal drug in Waterford, with heroin and cocaine becoming increasingly popular.

Anecdotal evidence in the city suggests that two ecstasy tablets can be bought for €5, while a ‘wrap’ of cocaine — enough for 10-15 lines — costs between €10 and €15.
