I thank Dr. Healy. Mr. Mullins mentioned the safe injecting facilities and the one that is due to open later in the year. From talking to him and other people, I know they faced some barriers along the way. Will Mr. Mullins elaborate on some barriers that he faced? How did he overcome them? What conversations did he have with An Garda Síochána? I mentioned that going to the clinic could be deemed an illegal activity, because the person could have a substance that is deemed illegal. How did Mr. Mullins overcome these barriers and what conversations did he have with An Garda Síochána?
