Communities determined to drive out drugs are making 10 calls a day to an anonymous tip-off line about dealers in their area.
The Dial to Stop Drug Dealing freephone line has received more than 7,000 calls since it was set up two years ago.
Most of the calls to the 1800 220 220 number were about small-time street dealing witnessed by residents in their own neighbourhood.
Just over a third contained sufficient evidence for a formal report to be made to gardaí but Community Affairs Minister Pat Carey said every piece of information was significant in the fight against drugs.
