Frank Feighan (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Crowe has articulated a point. It tells us that there is a great need for a supervised injection facility at Merchant's Quay. It is subject to planning permission from An Bord Pleanála. The sooner the better that we can get a pilot medically supervised injection facility. It may help some of those issues. I accept there are issues. There are issues concerning the Garda. I am fully supportive of the Government decision to establish this medically supervised injection facility. It is a key action in the national drugs strategy.
