The HSE reassures Cork residents that no dangerous drug batches are being sold
This news comes after two young men were found dead last week, raising concerns about a possible bad batch. The HSE has been in touch with local groups and reported no new overdoses or alarming cases.
They mentioned that any suspected drug-related deaths will need a thorough post-mortem review, which can take a while. Recently, the HSE warned about counterfeit yellow tablets linked to overdoses across Ireland.
A spokesperson emphasized that they can’t discuss individual cases due to confidentiality rules. They assured the public that, based on their analysis, there’s no evidence of risky heroin in circulation.
The HSE collaborates with national services to monitor drug trends and issues alerts when necessary. They encourage anyone struggling with addiction to reach out to local services or their GP for help.
