Some months ago the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform unfortunately stated that, regarding organised crime, we were witnessing the last sting of a dying wasp. In Finglas this morning the wasp was at it again. The threat posed to this society by organised crime, specifically drug related crime, is as real and serious as the threat posed by the IRA and other subversive organisations in the recent past.
