In the 1990s, Wayne Hart was able to sell up to 9,000 ecstasy pills in one weekend while working in nightclubs around Dublin. Leaving his home at 14, he got involved in the drug trade by selling hash, before transitioning to ecstasy and eventually becoming hooked on heroin, which he used to manage his comedowns, and then to supply his addiction. By age 21, he had a house, girlfriend, and two children, but his addiction and profession led him to a downward spiral. He is now a part of the three-part series Dublin Narcos, which tells the story of how illegal drugs changed the city from the 1980s onwards. He was delighted when rave clubs started popping up in Dublin after visiting one in London, and he was able to sell around 900 pills a night in the three main clubs in Dublin. At the peak of his dealing, he was bringing home £10,000 a week and tried to keep up with other families by buying the best things for his own kids. He said that drug dealing was a form of 'social mobility' for many people.
