Dr. Eamon Keenan:

I cannot speak for the Garda Síochána but I do know we have had engagement with it and it is supportive of the idea of developing these two pilots. It is looking at two Dublin metropolitan areas where gardaí would be trained. We are ready to give the training to An Garda Síochána and I have met with the chief medical officer in An Garda Síochána to whom I have offered my support on an ongoing basis. We have invited An Garda Síochána to join our quality assurance group, which oversees naloxone, so I am hopeful that we are going to be able to provide naloxone. The gardaí will be carrying the nasal spray as opposed to the injectable, so there will be no needles involved.
