Incident ‘highlights dangers of drugs’
Dr Des Corrigan said initial reports suggested that either high purity cocaine or cocaine mixed with alcohol may have caused the severe reactions at the house party in Ballybeg.
“I think it’s more consistent with either high-dose cocaine or cocaine plus alcohol. It seems more compatible with that, but you have to expect the unexpected with drugs,” said Dr Corrigan, chairman of the National Advisory Committee on Drugs (NCAD).
