Limerick priest: Hell awaits drug dealers

The parish priest of Moyross in Limerick has said urgent action is needed to defeat “evil” drug gangs who are “flourishing” in the estate.

Fr Tony O’Riordan said local families are living under constant “threats, intimidation, and extortion”, despite garda operations over recent years which have seen some of the leaders of the city’s most notorious gangs jailed.

“I’m conscious there might be a risk to myself, but I think it is time to speak out,” Fr O’Riordan said.
