It is the responsibility of all of us, though, to highlight the trail of money that leads to the devastation, be it in Colombia or in working-class communities here, from the drugs trade. It is not the people, either growers in Colombia or people who are suffering from drugs in Ireland or elsewhere, who are making the money from the trade but they certainly experience the devastation. We need a mature conversation about it.
