A man was discovered dead in an alley in Cork, raising alarms about potential drug dangers in the area
Gardaí were on the scene, working with the fire brigade and ambulance service. They described it as a medical emergency. Emergency teams stayed until about 6 PM.
This incident comes after another tragic death in Fitzgerald Park. A young man was found in a portaloo. It seems he had been there for hours before someone discovered him.
Worryingly, there are fears about a bad batch of drugs in Cork. Two deaths in less than 24 hours have raised alarms. The HSE is looking into these overdoses and whether they’re linked to new drug trends.
They mentioned that they’re monitoring the situation closely. Local services are ready to support those in need over the weekend. There’s a push for a supervised injection facility in Cork, which many believe could help keep drug use safer.
Politicians are starting to show interest in this idea, with some being open to the concept. It’s a tough situation, and the community is hoping for better solutions soon.
