No rogue heroin circulating in Cork, tests show

Reports circulating of a rogue batch of high-strength heroin in Cork following the recent drug-related deaths of two homeless people have been discounted after tests found nothing unusual in samples tested.

Samples of heroin were taken by gardaí after reports came back from a number of local drug workers that heroin users were complaining of high-strength heroin.

The samples were from the same batch of heroin which the two homeless men are suspected of taking.
