Catherine Byrne (Dublin South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I gave the response to that amendment. It will be down to the people who will be charged with running the centre to determine the use of the centre. That will come out in the consultation process, when there will be an opportunity to make clear how the persons or place will be determined by those who are going to run the centre. They will continue to brief people, in public consultation, on who will be using the centre and who will not be able to use it. There are no restrictions in legislation currently as to who will be using it. They will be identified by An Garda Síochána. There will not be anybody selling drugs within the centre. That will not be allowed anyway. There will be public consultation but it does depend on whoever is going to be given the opportunity to run the centre; that part of the legislation can be interpreted by those who are going to run it.
