Organised crime gangs are heavily involved in drug trafficking in Ireland. The result is that unfortunate individuals become addicted to drugs, their families are badly affected and other people become innocent victims of the violence of drug barons. The unfortunate murder of Brian Fitzgerald by drug gangs in Limerick has been raised in the House on a number of occasions. This appalling vista needs to be tackled and no stone should be left unturned to bring the perpetrators to justice. This legislation is part of the process.
