About 800 people took part in an anti-drugs protest march last night through Dorset Street, Dublin. The march was organised by ICON - the Inner Cities Organisations -Network - and was one of a series by city residents seeking more Government and police action against drug-dealers.
Earlier, the marchers met in a hall in Buckingham Street. Before the meeting, the organisers asked the crowd whether the media should be admitted. The crowd agreed that they should and camera crews from the BBC and the US television network CBS entered. The CBS programme Sixty Minutes is planning a report on the anti-drugs movement in Dublin.
