A Spoonful of Sugar

Today The Independent continues to report on journalist Justine Delaney Wilson’s claim that many within the Dail are habitual cocaine users. The journalist’s new book High Society contains an quote from an unidentified minister within the Dail who states:

“Yes, I do take drugs . . . just coke though . . . regularly enough. I’m certainly not the only one around here [the Dail] that does.”

On 11 November of this year RTE confirmed the existence of the taped interview but today the journalist says she no longer has the recording of the admission. Does she or doesn’t she? The questions remain and as the Gardai, ministers within the Dail, and the public get involved I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of this.
