BANKS  

Antonio Maria Costa, former head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, in an interview with the Observer said evidence was shown to him that organized crime proceeds were "the only liquid investment capital" available to some banks under threat of co lapse last year. He said that most of the $352bn (£216bn) drugs profits went into the economic system as a result.

This brings up the question about how much crime has an influence on the economic system in crisis .   Drug money is laundered through legitimate businesses to clean it and becomes part of the overall money in circulation.   It raises the possibility of examination by World leaders on the banking system.     People lost a lot of money and some their family homes during this period.


 there is an increase in those seeking counseling for suicidal thinking.    Drug and alcohol misuse has now spiraled and the misuse of prescription drugs has become a major problem for young people and adults representing with problems.    Suicidal tendencies arise for a variety of reasons.   Pressure from financial issues, personal issues, family break up and addiction to name a few.    In the present financial climate people need to support each other.   Remember what is a real value in life and be willing to let go of that which is not.    Yes money or the lack of has become a factor in a lot of misery.  A situation created by corruption and greed.   Those words we are used to internationally when we speak of the drug trade.
  
Monday 5th March, Minister Shane McEntee launched National Tree Week,  at Littlewood, Slane.   Aisling Group International charity were also included in this initiative by asking people to sponsor a tree on line for which you can receive your own specific certificate.   The launch was in co-operation with Coillte.     Support the services, prevent suicide, addiction and help people grow to their full potential by sponsoring a tree is a great way of serving the community.
