The HSE has warned heroin users to be"extra cautious" following more than 20 overdoses in Dublin in 24 hours.
"We ask that people are extra cautious during this period while we identify what may be leading to overdoses. "At present, this issue appears contained to the Dublin city area but we will continue to monitor and update as necessary." GP Dr Austin O'Carroll confirmed that a Dublin service that he works with, which provides care to the homeless and to drug users, treated two people who suffered from heroin overdoses this morning.
When asked if this was an unusually high figure, Dr O'Carroll said it was and that those working in the area had not seen anything like it in a long time.
