Man arrested in Tallaght drug‑intimidation investigation

A man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into drug-related intimidation in Tallaght on Tuesday.

Gardaí in Tallaght arrested a man in his 20s in relation to an investigation into drug-related intimidation and he was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 in a Garda Station in the Dublin Metropolitan Region.

The male has since been charged in connection with this investigation and appeared before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Wednesday morning.

Investigations are ongoing.

The Drug Related Intimidation Reporting Programme is a programme from An Garda Siochána to respond to the needs of drug users and family members experiencing drug related intimidation.

Inspectors in every garda division liaise directly with their local Superintendent in relation to each individual case.

Persons seeking the assistance of the Inspector in their area may contact their Inspector to arrange to meet with them either formally or informally.

An Garda Síochána will deal with any complaint of drug related intimidation or advice sought in relation to this issue with the utmost safety and effective means in order to afford the person or family subject to the threat of the best level of security, advice and support which can be offered, as well as in a confidential and secure fashion.
