Earlier this year The Clare Champion examined heroin use in the county and having now settled into his new role in Ennis, the Dublin man says the issue of heroin use is a nationwide problem.
Superintendent Duff says the problem “is all relative”. Between 2002 and 2007, the number of prosecutions for heroin use has gone from one to 17 – a jump of 1600% and represents the largest percentage increase in the Mid-West during that period.
