Items related to The High Society: Drugs and the Irish Middle Class
Nothing is illegal when a hundred businessmen decide to do it - Frank, dealer to Dublin law firm
Lawyers do it. Doctors do it. Accountants and airline pilots do it. Priests and nuns do it. Government ministers do it. Abuse drugs, that is. And not just for recreational use. Some of them every day, to survive the day.
Justine Delaney Wilson accompanied an established dealer as he made his drops to his customers. His first stop was not a run-down block of flats but a well-known Dublin solicitors office where, within a few minutes, his bag of drugs was replaced with a bag of cash. And that was just the start. Delaney Wilson s research soon revealed that very many middle-class professionals in Ireland rely on drugs to manage their lives. And a lot of them believe that they can handle it.
They are the high society. And this is their story in their own words.
