‘Talking to drug dealers may help end intimidation’

COMMUNITY leaders should consider talking to drug dealers who are terrorising residents of a Dublin flats complex, a local drug worker has suggested.

Graham Ryall, treatment services co-ordinator at the Rialto Community Drugs Team, said the talks would be aimed at ending the intimidation of residents at Dolphin House flats, in the south inner city.

His radical suggestion comes as the Criminal Assets Bureau has set up an investigation to profile assets linked to gang members.
