UP TO 6,000 needles are found in just one tiny Dublin city centre park every year – with tourists regularly coming across recently-discarded hypodermic needles, and stumbling upon scenes of open drug use.
Between 15 and 20 needles are found on the half-hectare site each day according to workers at St Audoen’s Park, which houses the city’s only remaining medieval parish church.
It lies along a well-trodden tourist route between Christ Church Cathedral and the Guinness Storehouse – two of the city’s most popular tourist attractions.
