Ever since about 2008 there's been some brutal drug wars in Dublin and Limerick. There are a number of gangs and clans who concentrate drugs but have other OC activities. Most of these gangs are overseen by either the IRA or their left-wing counterparts INLA. The gangsters have started fighting back over the past year or so. When I was over there in 2005, IRA-linked dealers were even selling coke in Dublin rehab facilities. huh, micks
