On the topic of injection centres, which I know is probably a matter for the HSE, do the witnesses or the members of their organisations have any experience in this regard? There is a debate in Cork city now about possibly opening an injection centre in the city centre. I am not giving any opinion here on the positives or negatives of this undertaking. I would be interested, however, in hearing about the Garda experience and what members may have heard back in relation to the injection centre opened at Merchant's Quay here in Dublin. Are the witnesses aware of any concerns or any policing issues around that injection centre?
