Monday June 27, 2005 18:22 by COCAD - Coalition of Communities Against Drugs
The Inside Story of the Anti Drugs Movement For over 20 years Dublin’s working class communities have been ravished by heroin. Each time the heroin crisis became an epidemic the local communities organised themselves to fight back. At last, a book has been written by somebody who was in the middle of this fightback. This book, “Pushers Out”, gives the affected communities side of the story. It pulls no punches and records the highs and the lows of the 20 year campaign.

Actually a great read ... and a solid contribution to Dublin working class history. Congratulations to COCAD and the author. Apart from documenting the anti-drugs campaign it contains loads of other meaty stuff. There is a comprehensive outline of the development of drugs policy in Ireland and isues around that; a dynamite historical critique of the Garda Siochana (including new revelations about some of those involved in the McBrearty case); good insight into the courts and justice system; and an interesting argument on the question of vigilantism (though I'm not sure it stands up).
The author is refreshingly honest throughout ... including on his dealings with the Republican movement.
Best of luck with it!
Looks like an interesting talk. Unfortunately, I can't make it.
I'm to young to have participated in this. So I'd love to hear and read about it.I saw the book in Connolly Books a few days ago. I'll pick it up sooner or later.
Fair play to you for getting this done. And best of luck with it. I hope it makes a you a bit of money.
Well I can make it along Ois so i'll tell you all about it afterwards...um, kay?

Lots of readers here. Could help sell the book.
