Analysis by Forensic Science Ireland of a sample obtained by gardaí on the evening of November 10th confirmed the emergence of nitazenes in a light brown/sandy coloured powder on the Dublin heroin market. This resulted in the HSE issuing a red alert for the city. This was later confirmed as N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene which was a first identification for Ireland and a substance which is under intensive monitoring by the EU Drugs Agency.
