Local man Gary O’Brien found a case containing used hypodermic needles outside the Scoil Mhuire NS gates in Wexford Town at 8:50am this morning while bringing his children to school.
While speaking with Wexford Hub, O’Brien said the needles had been bent over and that there were teeth marks on the caps.
The purpose of the needles remains unclear, though it has been suggested that the case may have belonged to a person with Type 1 Diabetes.
It has since been brought to the local health clinic.
