THREE men were still in intensive care last night after a Halloween house party turned into a drugs-fuelled night- mare. As many as eight people believed to have taken liquid ecstasy during celebrations at a number of neighbouring apartments in west Dublin had to be taken to hospital. Garda were called to the scene at Annaly Court, Ongar, west Dublin, in the early hours of yesterday after a number of complaints about public-order incidents. Several of the late-night revellers had become ill and were taken to James Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown. Four men in their 20s, suspected of taking a cocktail of drugs, were admitted between 3am and 5am. Four others who went to hospital did not have to stay in. A spokeswoman for the hospital said three people in intensive care remained in a stable condition yesterday evening. The Garda believe some of the partygoers took GHB, a potentially lethal sedative also known as liquid ecstasy. The drug can kill when mixed with alcohol. Investigators concerned that others who may have taken the drug at the party issued an ap- peal for them to get medical help. Some of those who attended may be living alone and garda are anxious that those people are checked on and given medical advice with- out delay, a Garda spokesman said. A ground-floor apartment was sealed off as technical experts carried out a forensic exami- nation, but no arrests have been made.
