Will proposed legislation providing for safe injecting centres for drug users be published before the Christmas recess? The heads of the Bill have gone to the Cabinet sub-committee for approval, but can we have a commitment from the Taoiseach that it will be passed by both Houses before the dissolution of the Dáil? It is an important piece of legislation in view of the fact that we have almost two drug-related deaths every day in the State. It is a public health issue and it could actually save lives.
