Lighting of 20th Christmas tree marks lives lost to drugs.
Families gathered last night for a special ceremony marking the lives of loved ones who have died from drugs: the 20th lighting of a Christmas tree in Dublin’s north inner city, at the intersection of Sean McDermott St and Buckingham St.
Representatives of 20 families each placed a star on the tree, to mark each year.
Musician Don Baker, who lived in the area, played his famous ‘Inner City Song’ — the Jolly Beggarmen version is well-known.
Sadie Grace of the National Family Support Network said that many of those gathered lived with the “devastating effects” of substance misuse on a daily basis.
