Dublin community procession over killings and drugs crisis

A Dublin community is to hold a procession this evening to demand an end to feud violence and the devastation caused by the drug crisis.

The north-east inner city has been hit by three murders since February linked to the Kinahan-Hutch feud — two of them within eleven days in April.

Community groups and locals will walk from four different churches in the area, leaving at 7pm, and descend at 7.30pm on the landmark Home memorial — for victims of drugs — on Buckingham St.

The procession has been organised by local networks within the four parishes of St Agatha’s (William St,) St Laurence O’Toole’s (Seville Place), Our Lady of Lourdes (Seán MacDermott St), and St Joseph’s Church (East Wall), as a response to violence and killings in the area.
