ballymun

The government, and I don't know The council developed this grant Where you could get £5000 at the time To buy your own house So there was a lot of people moving out to the Kilbarrack, Donaghmede, Tallaght, wherever And all the people who were left in Ballymun Were people who didn't really have jobs Or were single parents And there were actually a lot of mental health institutes That were shutting down and people were then being Accommodated in Ballymun, so over time then what happened was Ballymun had a huge amount of trauma in the area Then obviously drug dealers Probably didn't realise it at the time But heroin hit the country and it became a very lucrative area To sell drugs because people with trauma Use drugs to overcome the psychological pain And that's what happened So essentially Ballymun was ghettoised By the government
