A so-called “drugs supermarket” in Limerick City sets up almost immediately after gardaí raid it and locals are feeling abandoned.

A meeting of the Limerick joint policing committee was told today by Sinn Féin TD Maurice Quinlivan that people living in the area feel abandoned because of drug-dealing at the property in St Mary’s Park in the city. Gardaí set up an operation called Capog earlier this year to tackle drug-dealing in the location.
