Cocaine use among farmers is growing in rural Ireland. Addiction centre Cuan Mhuire in Co. Limerick treats around 80 farmers a year with 15 percent seeking treatment for cocaine addiction.

The latest figures by The Health Research Board shows there’s been a 50 percent increase in people taking the drug between 2017 and 2018. While the addiction service says there is an average three-month waiting list for a detox bed.
