Anybody whos been in Dublin 10 minutes sees this side to it. The city was Europes poorest city for two centuries, a bombed out Belfast during the 1970's and 80's was still far richer than Dublin. It would take decades to make it look nice all over.
You know in the end the vigilantes only made the problem worse, there was very little gun-crime in Dublin back then but now its rampant, they tried to stamp out the fire but only spread the embers.
That's bollox the gardai were and still are understaffed these fellas had no other choice but to step forward luckily for them back then there wasnt a cartel sending drugs and guns to ireland to young lads who dont give a fuck and are wearing Gucci this and Louis Vuitton that every day they wear rolexs drive the best cars live in flash houses and why is there no vigilantes now simply because their whole family could be killed by some bloke that's been giving 20-30k or let off a drug debt or forced to do it because he owes money I was asked to petrol bomb a house for a kilo of weed before because the guy poured nitro mors on a car and damaged the paint I was asked to retaliate and I said no its completely different now 20 years ago you wouldn't be possibly getting burnt to death for damaging paint on a car you would have gotten a few slaps now if a big dealer doesn't like someone they can either put a hit on him or tell another dealer that hes a rat or hes trying to get you whacked and he will be dead because a psychotic coke sniffing drug dealer will not hesitate he will just say get rid of him and it will be done so that is why there is no more vigilantes and they didn't make it worse sure Christy Dunne has a famous quote and that is "if you think we are bad, wait till you see what's coming behind us" it was obvious its evolution of crime and unfortunately for us it's evolving a lot quicker than the evolution of policing
that's nonsense, the lack of gun crime was due to the IRA being active and them not allowing criminals to take over. As soon as the IRA went on ceasefire the gun crime exploded as there was nobody to stop the criminals. The Gardai and the state relied upon republicans to police the working class communities as they hadn't and still don't have a clue
Provos absolutel destroyed any fledgling drug empires in their area, from PJ Psycho in Dublin to the likes of Mickey Mooney in Belfast, scary guys, not so scary when they got their heads ventilated . Not many deadly drugs going about thren, post ceasefire? It was all systems go
They did it as a last resort, everyone was given a warning first to cease their dealing (which resulted in the loss of life of children and young people all across dublin) - if they continued, they were given a more harsh warning, third time around - they were removed from society.
And 27 years later after this tv documentary was recorded drugs and drug dealing in Dublin is still rampant. Some things haven't changed. Now we have crack cocaine , new harder drugs coming in via Antwerp from South American countries.
Thats a huge problem drugs which is why you have regular citizens who are trying to deal with these drug dealers themselves because they are sick and tired of drugs in there communities.
No, they're belligerent assholes who can't stand adults making their own damn decision. If the authorities had any compotance at all they would kill every last member of this terrorist organization and convert their homes into police stations aimed at future psychopaths doing the same thing.
The people behind the scenes are no longer Republicans. That's the precise problem with Ireland. No deterrent anymore. No fear. No law. Guards are like jelly babies. Only good for hassling decent people.
The woman's house with broken windows and paint and rubbish is not what the typical junky does. They don't usually have the energy to do anything more than get the money to buy a few bags a day, they wouldn't vandalise a house because they couldn't be arsed to do it.
I live in Florida, USA and have been on Methadone for 4 years... anyways, I find this video rather interesting. I don't have an opinion yet, but I do believe what these 'vigilantes' do is what most believe is needed.

Having spent 22 years smoking marijuana and 16 on heroin I know the difference all to well but at the same time the last 2 years I have been totally drug free, coming off heroin I didn't sleep or hardly eat for about 8 or 9 weeks and when I stopped smoking weed I also could not sleep, might have only been 1 week but you definitely develop some kind of dependence maybe physiological but still a dependence a bit like cigarette's
@@thinkofitthisway7804 Because he got off drugs, now he's anti-drugs obviously. In other words, because he couldn't resist addiction, now everyone must be barred...
The woman at 9:10 has obviously had kids that were addicts God bless her I hope things got better for whatever pain she was going through, heroin has ruined Ireland and now crack is here more than anything, thank God they didnt allow meth to get going like heroin aswel as fentanyl, I will never sell it no matter how popular it gets, from experience it's the stuff you get from the doctors that does the worst damage like methadone, benzos and zimos aswel as xanax, it's crazy how bad Ireland is it's literally the smallest country in Europe yet the worst for crime,murders and drugs.
Come to Liverpool Tadd Boys - you'd be welcomed with open arms lads. Very similar city to Liverpool is Dublin, and some fine people who have to take shit of scumbag dealers and then addicts.
It's good to take action against the drug dealers when you feel that the powers that be aren't doing enough, but if you're trying to get them out of your neighborhood and move somewhere else, they're just going to be other people's problem. ...need to get them put in jail and have the keys thrown away so they can't bother anyone else.
It looks like this video was posted 16 years ago. Has anything changed in Dublin or in the rest of Ireland since then in regard to the drugs problems they were discussing in this video?
It’s got far worse unfortunately the paramilitaries grip has weaned entirely since the good Friday agreement the cartels came to the fore now dublin exports some of the biggest drug lords on the planet look in to the kinahan cartel
my mother Marie maned the huts in knockmore, she was raring a big family, drugs decimated many a good family, The big drug dealers used the poor junkies to deal. How they live with themselves I'll never know.
I know the consultant who did this year's report to the Irish government and he remains completely anti the Holland or Switzerland approach. So no change there. I am half Irish and live here, but we remain in a really old fashioned state altogether. I am also wary of any new approaches, but the drugs war around the world is not being won. South America remains in dire straits due to the drug wars. Something has gotta change.
that was a rare protest here and it was in 2007 , havent seen or heard of any Irish community standing up for their towns since or against the scum dealers , in Fact in Dublin there are 6 new drug gangs which replaced 2 others when the main people were jailed . these 6 gangs have over 200 young members and are within a few miles of the Dublin city center , it is getting worse and more dangerous for innocent people to go about their daily lives without being attacked .
did you know you can make concrete bricks from hemp? it is lighter and stronger than regular cinder blocks. Yet another reason why hemp can save the world. You could build an entire house out of hemp, and many of the furnishings inside such as curtains and blankets, to counter tops. papers, foods, Body Care items (soaps and salves), consumer AND industrial textiles, perfumes, varnishes to fuel to Solvents, to animal bedding I’ve heard that there are over 25,000 known uses for hemp,any more?
Ten time's worse today, families broken hundreds dead from this evil since then, and still it goes on and. Drug policy hasn't worked because it's against people. Doctors need to prescribe the opioid it would be a game changer.
When the doctor does prescribe the opiates they just crush it down and snort it, I lived in hostels and seen it all, they just take the doctors drugs then get their street drugs
No,St.Josephs Mansions were on Killarney Street in Dublin 1.They were completely refurbished into a lovely apartment complex during regeneration of the area in the early 2000's,and are now called Killarney Court.
Nathan Fitznailzryan saint jophes flats Dublin was like home for me as a kid they on the north side of Dublin and haven't been there in years but was all good for a smoke. Then the gear ruined the place. Probably done up by now. I became the spot when sheriff street lot just kept ripping every one off. It was five minutes around the corner. Unfortunately it didn't take long for sheriff street to catch on and they were up there ripping people off. Place was hot as fuck drug squad would just circle the area and nick people on the way out. Getting things wasn't the problem keeping hold of it was. Never ripped in the mansion but was in sheriff street. Miss spent youth. I was lucky enough to get to UK. But I was already on the wrong road I did return to Dublin in addition twice first time mansions was good to score second time could not go near the place without getting your head kicked in by vigilantes. But just moved problem elsewhere. Why do we have a drug problem coz they illegal and people want them try making celery illegal and see who gives a fuck
It would seem that Dublin's drug problem has social roots, namely unemployment. While the vigilante efforts are admirable, killing the dealers who are supplying a demand is not the solution. Only by focusing on whatever is making the population seek out drugs in the first place, can they help the symptoms of the underlying cause; an ill society.
Those marches were the best deterrent to drug dealing Dublin has ever seen, the difference between now and the 90's is huge and back then the garda made no difference but those marches did.
No drug problem? What would you call thousands of people on drugs then? At one stage there were over 11,000 people Dublin on methadone or heroin. It has gotten a lot better though.
It does work being from the Creggan in Derry which was a run down area like this one, the IRA basically had the place drug free like many other parts of northern Ireland, the destruction seen in other areas from the drug epidemic didn't exist in ours.
70,000 would be nearer the figure . .the government cover up the problem because it's a lot worse than most European cities . . .it's only better heroin wise because cocaine is where it's at with the privileged and well off using coke these days.
I couldn't agree more. Border control seems to be ridiculously lax. Immigration has spiralled out of control. It's insane that hundreds of thousands were allowed in anually. Hopefully things will vhange with the new coallition.
@germaniajim ,we had a huge increase in immigration to Ireland over the past decade mainly from African nations,Asia and eastern Europe a tiny minority from these nations would be involved in drug taking let alone drug dealing,it's very much an Irish problem,the video you see here dates back almost 15 years and these so called heros you see here called off there intimidating tactics of drug dealers once they were paid off.they put the money into funding there "political"wings who's supporters
I wasn't talking about Heroin, but Opium which is natural growing plant, just like Marijuana. Opium naturally contains morphine, codeine and thebaine which also has tons of medical uses and has been medically approved and used for hundreds of years.
Well it may be an old video but those days have returned. Justice has broken down in Dublin. Criminals rule the streets and terrorize neighbourhoods. We need to win back control and support the under resourced Gardai whom I have huge respect. Vigilante groups are the way forward.
Exactly. im sure most people heard this but, dealers don't: check ID, make the the drug isn't laced or cut (i know people who died of bad heroin), and will not rob you for your money.
The monk won't be on the streets of Dublin anytime soon and I wonder if Tommy wheelan was related to James wheelan recently murdered in the gutchy gang fued
The powers that be had such an ego they didnt accept it. They didnt care until the drugs were being taken by their own well off well educated sons and daughters too and they realised it didnt discriminate class race age gender etc
@Eddiesilence Well said bud!! There's also the argument that people will sell a little weed but if it was legal they wouldn't be heroin dealers... selling a little weed is helping your friends by sharing what you got and what they want. Dealing heroin , crack, meth, coke and other 'seriously harmfull' substances are a non starter for most true weed men!
Looking at the bigger picture ..........This community is actually saving the children of the community, from being in contact with suchlike drugs, and the kids see a very visual experience of community's non acceptance of drug use ... It's difficult to explain, but this form of action might save a number of young ones... As time goes by. Thom in Scotland.
Worst drugs are sold legally - alcohol, tobacco, meat and sugar. Portugal example shows that decriminalization reduces drug use. People will continue using psychedelics even if strictly illegal and risking jail. Is DMT hard to find in Ireland?
I'm fairly certain that's what they had in mind in the 90s when all the profits came in, then again i wasn't even born then so i can only give an opinion
Well, you're half right. I agree that, in the long run, legalizing drugs would solve many problems. However, the market is dictated by supply and demand. How can the government sanction and tax something that they can't control now?
I understand your point. I just hate the lack of education around the subject and people just lump all "drugs" together as if they are the same thing, you obviously know the difference but others don't. They should invent a new word to refer to crack cocaine, heroin and crystal meth because they just aren't the same as other drugs.
I'll add an update to this program it's 2022 n believe me these gangs are not half as feared today, they would be took out today, for trying to stop the dealer's, far to much money involved N no out of touch wannabe is going to fuck that up, that's today ✌️💚😈
I am Irish and I know of people with no visible means of support who still have baby after baby and think it is the most joyous thing in the world. Why don't we start taking responsibility and not continue to bring innnocent children into an already impoverished household. Wake up fellow Irish men and women and stop having so many babies- And lets give our children great educations so they can have choices and not resort to drugs and mindless lives.
Haha, The Monk was in there round 04:00 . I think he was more involved in robberies back heists etc. He wasn't into Drug Dealing really. Maybe he was afraid of TAD lol!
Never stated that Marijuana\Cannabis or THC if you will, has no medical uses, as it does indeed have many and it is indeed strange it's just now that it's benefits has been started to be exploited in legal, approved medicine.
i was born and rared in tallaght and lived in tallaght for 19 years when all them marches went on and your woman whos gaf is wrecked only lived up the road from me .she was with a junkie thats y they hung around at her gaf
@nuttybollockz Are you actually saying that you get harassed by someone if you don't buy drugs from them? Is it really to the point that you're walking down the street and people ask you if you want to buy drugs and if you say no you get beaten? If they're willing to beat people, why would they ever sell drugs? Why not just save the money they would spend on drugs and just rob people?

@germaniajim ,we had a huge increase in immigration to Ireland over the past decade mainly from African nations,Asia and eastern Europe a tiny minority from these nations would be involved in drug taking let alone drug dealing,it's very much an Irish problem,the video you see here dates back almost 15 years and these so called heros you see here called off there intimidating tactics of drug dealers once they were paid off.they put the money into funding there "political"wings who's supporters
It takes hard men to fight against drugs.The big bosses at the top of the tree aren't in Ireland. The dealers are low hanging fruit.
You no they are all ira dont ya tad is only a cover name id be 99% sure there ra heads
is the fella with the glasses noel duck egg Kirwin? who's just been killed?
Yes. Irish independent posted this link today because of his murder.
Yes that's him. Drug dealers now run Dublin.
I wasn't talking about Heroin, but Opium which is natural growing plant, just like Marijuana. Opium naturally contains morphine, codeine and thebaine which also has tons of medical uses and has been medically approved and used for hundreds of years.
Well it may be an old video but those days have returned. Justice has broken down in Dublin. Criminals rule the streets and terrorize neighbourhoods. We need to win back control and support the under resourced Gardai whom I have huge respect. Vigilante groups are the way forward.
Exactly. im sure most people heard this but, dealers don't: check ID, make the the drug isn't laced or cut (i know people who died of bad heroin), and will not rob you for your money.
Gardai in Dublin are Grossly under manned
The monk won't be on the streets of Dublin anytime soon and I wonder if Tommy wheelan was related to James wheelan recently murdered in the gutchy gang fued
The powers that be had such an ego they didnt accept it. They didnt care until the drugs were being taken by their own well off well educated sons and daughters too and they realised it didnt discriminate class race age gender etc
As long as drugs are illegal the price of them will always be high and very proftable which attracts young people to drug dealing.
@Eddiesilence Well said bud!!
There's also the argument that people will sell a little weed but if it was legal they wouldn't be heroin dealers... selling a little weed is helping your friends by sharing what you got and what they want. Dealing heroin , crack, meth, coke and other 'seriously harmfull' substances are a non starter for most true weed men!
any more episodes
Looking at the bigger picture ..........This community is actually saving the children of the community, from being in contact with suchlike drugs, and the kids see a very visual experience of community's non acceptance of drug use ...
It's difficult to explain, but this form of action might save a number of young ones... As time goes by.
Thom in Scotland.
Worst drugs are sold legally - alcohol, tobacco, meat and sugar. Portugal example shows that decriminalization reduces drug use. People will continue using psychedelics even if strictly illegal and risking jail. Is DMT hard to find in Ireland?
Meat?!
good on you men your saveing kid lives from and the old people who are scard e to go out of there homes
Leave the James lad of he stopped selling hash 7 weeks ago
Ah Dublin in the 90's!
Love Boat on the Liffey!
seems like a miserable place to live....
3:36 what flats are there
O'devanys gardens I think...but might also be in the liberties. Pimlico flats around marrowbone lane ?
Its ten times worse today
2024 now and it's probably worse
@TamTheToff they arent murdering weed dealers they are killing heroin dealers. thats just naive mothers who dont know about the herb
Are the Tadd still active???
No there all gone now they’d be killed them selves nowadays
@@Zazaking-fg6jd 11 years later i get a reply. Thanks.
countsmyth no problem 👍🏼
Now Dublin have a cartel good effort guys
Keep drugs out of Ireland!!Do not become like the U.S.
I'm fairly certain that's what they had in mind in the 90s when all the profits came in, then again i wasn't even born then so i can only give an opinion
Well, you're half right. I agree that, in the long run, legalizing drugs would solve many problems. However, the market is dictated by supply and demand. How can the government sanction and tax something that they can't control now?
Demand is a major problem that needs to be tackled
TADD Spokesman (actors voice)?
Well done 👍
I understand your point. I just hate the lack of education around the subject and people just lump all "drugs" together as if they are the same thing, you obviously know the difference but others don't. They should invent a new word to refer to crack cocaine, heroin and crystal meth because they just aren't the same as other drugs.
The monk looked well LoL 😂
I'll add an update to this program it's 2022 n believe me these gangs are not half as feared today, they would be took out today, for trying to stop the dealer's, far to much money involved N no out of touch wannabe is going to fuck that up, that's today ✌️💚😈
I am Irish and I know of people with no visible means of support who still have baby after baby and think it is the most joyous thing in the world. Why don't we start taking responsibility and not continue to bring innnocent children into an already impoverished household. Wake up fellow Irish men and women and stop having so many babies- And lets give our children great educations so they can have choices and not resort to drugs and mindless lives.
That is some stairs to make an entrance at the start.
Haha, The Monk was in there round 04:00 . I think he was more involved in robberies back heists etc. He wasn't into Drug Dealing really. Maybe he was afraid of TAD lol!
I wonder if the police chief accepts that at all
Never stated that Marijuana\Cannabis or THC if you will, has no medical uses, as it does indeed have many and it is indeed strange it's just now that it's benefits has been started to be exploited in legal, approved medicine.
Ireland is a crazy place..I've been to jail for selling heroin in England and I was seen as someone serving the community
i was born and rared in tallaght and lived in tallaght for 19 years when all them marches went on and your woman whos gaf is wrecked only lived up the road from me .she was with a junkie thats y they hung around at her gaf
No comments not my business
@nuttybollockz Are you actually saying that you get harassed by someone if you don't buy drugs from them? Is it really to the point that you're walking down the street and people ask you if you want to buy drugs and if you say no you get beaten?
If they're willing to beat people, why would they ever sell drugs? Why not just save the money they would spend on drugs and just rob people?
Where is Harder Belfast Or Dublin
😂 no one answered you well here I am Dublin is we control all the drugs up the north
What flats are they that the cop is driving around?
Looks like ballybough.
NEVER HEARD ANYONE SAY THE MONK WAS A DEALER
Well he is,
Sure he’s not a criminal whatsoever! Never mind a dealer🥴🥴🥴
The druids do not want any Irish hurt for drugs in Ireland... Ireland leans left
Should allow these vigilantes to take care of all these drugs dealers in Britain as it’s the only way to cure this life threatening habit
He nearly poured the physeptone on his friends head😂
Down with that sort of thing
Careful now
