Clare Gardaí Urge Those With Drug Debts To Avoid Moneylenders At All Costs

Clare Gardaí are urging anyone who finds themselves in debt due to a drug problem to never approach an illegal moneylender for help.

The latest figures from the Clare Garda Division have revealed that there was an overall increase of 9% in drugs-related offences in Clare last year.

In particular, cases of possession with the intent to sell or supply have been rising but Gardaí say it’s an issue that trickles right down to the ground too.

Many who fall into this trap are now said to be turning to moneylenders to pay off their debts but Superintendent John Galvin of the Kilrush Garda Division says it’s vital they turn to Gardaí instead.
