Warning to heroin users after four drug deaths

DRUG workers have issued warnings to heroin users after four addicts died from overdoses in Kilkenny and Carlow in the last week.

Experts said high purity heroin is now back on the streets following the end of one of the longest heroin droughts to hit the country.

Three heroin users are reported to have died from overdoses in Kilkenny in the past six days, with a further death in Carlow.
