As the Deputy knows, we hope to have the supervised injection facility in Merchants Quay opened by the end of the year. I have been there and I have seen the progress being made in the building work. The target is to have it opened by early to mid-December. That is a really important facility that needs to be open. As the Deputy knows, the initial proposal on that was going back to 2019. It went through various planning difficulties but now we have everyone on board. I will have to sign the licence for that to be opened. There is co-ordination between An Garda Síochána and the health services right across the board to make sure we have everyone in support of this facility.
