MEMORIAL TO HEROIN ADDICTION VICTIMS [ FLAME OF HOPE BEHIND A DOOR]

In 2000 when this was unveiled it was the world's first memorial to victims of heroin addiction.

The sculpture, entitled 'Home', was unveiled by President Mary McAleese.

 The sculpture, which depicts a flame of hope behind a doorway, is at the junction of Buckingham Street and Sean McDermott Street near the Five Lamps, a site once notorious for open drug dealing. The memorial was designed in conjunction with relatives of those who have died from heroin.
