Without discussing the specifics of the case, this week an incident occurred in the north inner city in which a young man who lost his life was taken from a flat complex. I send my deepest condolences to his family. Please tell me the Government is aware of the increase of addiction in the city, that it has a plan to do something about it and that it understands the urgency of the need to invest in more medically supervised recovery beds. There is a need to provide medically supervised injection centres. In their absence, we have unsafe injecting in parks and flat complexes throughout the city and the country. Is the Tánaiste aware of the urgency? Will we see an increase in funding for medically supervised injection beds in the budget? What will we do to ensure people can access treatment where they need it?
