Our drug laws aren't fit for purpose & lack of courage from politicians is costing lives. We need an overdose prevention centre & drug testing facilities at events. NI has a serious drug crisis & for politicians to ignore this is cowardice. We are done with thoughts & prayers.

The cheapest tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Stadium were priced at £74.25. The average price for remaining tickets sits at £1,148.40 Anyone who cares about working class cultural participation would never priced their tickets like that. It excludes working class people.

The fact that a State solicitor had to be onhand for this hearing, makes it all the more idiotic. How much longer can Ireland’s completely inflexible, mean-spirited management of the night-time economy continue? Anyway, well done to all involved.
