"Tests for traces of illicit drugs in wastewater in five cities and towns this summer will give the HSE a real-time picture of spikes in usage."
"The pilot programme, which will run in Dublin, Cork, Wexford, Limerick and Cavan, will test at water treatment plants to reveal clear patterns in drug taking."
Tests for traces of illicit drugs in wastewater will run this summer in Dublin, Cork, Wexford, Limerick, and Cavan. The pilot programme will be carried out at water treatment plants. Results will reveal clear patterns in drug taking across the five locations. The programme is intended to address concerns about a ketamine spike by providing a real-time picture of changes in usage. By measuring traces in wastewater, the testing aims to identify whether usage increases occur during the summer period.
