And the report from the Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) warned: ‘drug problems have no age limits.’
One such self-confessed heroin addict in Galway is a 40 year old with three teenage children; slight and greying, he admits that over 20 years of drug and alcohol abuse have taken their toll.
It takes a few minutes to get started with the interview as his phone keeps ringing he mentions there is currently a “drought” in Galway and there is not much heroin available so everyone is on the “hunt”."
