New film on CPAD to be shown

The movement arose in reaction to the lack of action from the authorities against the growth of heroin abuse in the inner city, and saw a degree of success despite hostility from the media and the authorities.
However the period remains a significant moment in the history of working class Dublin, and may be of interest to activists.
