This kid is 16 has been involved with drink & drugs most of his life as are probably his own parents who are probably aged about 30 . He probably at this stage himself has become a father .
He will enter prison and depending on what gang he is with will enter that landing where the chances are a lot of his family and relations are and hone up his skills .
There was a time that the traveler community would never touch hard core drugs they would sell them move them around but never take them themselves , About 15 years that changed and we have now huge out of control kids who will do anything including murder for drugs .
We no longer have industrial schools or proper detention centers and the problems with these children will only get worse

YESTERDAY, DUBLIN AIRPORT temporarily suspended all flights for 30 minutes due to the sighting of a drone.
Currently, the Small Unmanned Aircraft (Drones) and Rockets Order requires all drones weighing over 1kg to be registered with the Irish Aviation Authority.
Fianna Fáil TD James Lawless has now called on the government to progress the Small Unmanned Aircraft (Drones) Bill 2017.
“My Bill would ensure that drones are registered with the IAA and that prior to use the owner must be issued with a registration certificate by the IAA,” Lawless said.
So, today we’re asking: Should it be mandatory to register all drones?
