ONE love, blood, life
Close to twenty years after Bono wrote 'Running to Stand Still' about heroin addiction in Dublin's northside suburb of Ballymun and in the inner city, and close to thirty years after heroin first flooded into cities like Dublin and Glasgow, coke, not heroin, is now the favoured hard drug of choice here.
But unlike heroin, whose use was largely confined to underprivileged urban ghettos, coke has infiltrated all classes, all walks of life in society, as it did in the US during the 1970's.
Government Minister Tom Parlon has rightly described cocaine use here as the 'elephant in the room of middle class Ireland'.
