Emergency Response Unit sent to Drogheda to stop feuding drug gangs

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has ordered the elite ERU (Emergency Response Unit) into Drogheda as part of a crackdown on increasingly violent turf wars between feuding drug gangs.

He intends to hit the gangs hard, including stamping out even “low-level drug dealing” and will provide the town with a further 25 gardaí next month.
