    If this ends up mattering, it's nothing more than a reflection of the age demographic voting for FG. Christ, who didn't take illegal substances at least once. I don't like Leo but it shouldn't matter, and I guarantee you that other fella has.

      I haven’t and I’m 53 years old. Have you seen the crime rate and murder rate in Ireland due to drugs? Hope he doesn’t get in.

      @@mickey259 And in all honesty, fair play. But just because I bought a box of Coco Pops doesn't mean I'm guilty of supporting Nestlés exploitation of farmers. Him taking drugs once doesn't mean he has any tolerance for drug related crime in this country
      Edit: Coco Pops are Kellogg's but point stands

      Dara Otl I get what you are saying but he’s supposed to be setting an example. If you are going to go into politics and run a country you should be squeaky clean, maybe it’s my generation that views drugs badly but I’ve seen firsthand the damage they do, some young people look up to him and will follow his example “ if Leo done it it must be ok!

      My Choice. I see your point about damage but any day of the week I’d rather walk passed a group of people smoking weed than a group that are drunk if it’s illegal the gangs make money off it kids get into debt or buy weed that has heroin or glass in it or rat poison and it can lead onto people pressuring your into other drugs. Anything even apples are dangerous if you don’t have moderation.
