Clontarf Head Shop cut off - Minister Haughey

Local Dublin North Central TD, and Minister for Lifelong Learning, Seán Haughey has welcomed the news that the head shop on Clontarf Road will remain closed.

Local residents were incensed at the opening of this head shop. Following a temporary injunction granted to the landlord of the premises in the High Court earlier this week, common sense has prevailed and the tenant has agreed to surrender the lease on the property.

“I have previously expressed my total opposition to this head shop and I am delighted that the landlord has moved swiftly and resolved this issue. As a local representative I would like to ensure that a similar situation cannot arise again and in this respect I will continue to pursue with the Government a proposal to criminalise head shops.”

“Those in the local community will welcome this latest development. It does serve to illustrate, however, the constant need to remain vigilant, especially when an issue arises which may impact on our children.”
