Dont we have the garda reserves?
I thought some staff were trained to use it?Naloxone. An amazing drug. Unfortunately many more overdoses could be prevented if designated staff in such shelters were permitted to administer it also.
The paramedics are already run off their feet, and very often staff in shelters and hostels are on the scene of an overdose immediately.
I know of cases where the user has died with staff present while waiting for paramedics to arrive on the scene.
An unpopular opinion i know but the unofficial "do gooders" actually may be doing more harm than good by "enabling" addicts (alchol is just as bad as smack) who adopt street living.
Also now paramedics can bring many overdoses back from the brink of death using new drugs so i believe that fatal ODs from heroin are in the decline.
I'm a day drinker m8. Much more sociable to casually sit in the sun and have a few jars before hopping on the bus home and getting the head down.
I was home watching Father Ted at 10 on the Sunday of the jazz.

Any man that raises his hand to a woman is not a man.
Does it similarly hold that any woman who raises her hand to a man is not a woman?
I remember seeing Mags Kelly knock a motor-bike cop (and they're generally tough guys) off his bike and set about him on the ground kicking and punching him when he was down.
