Injection centre refused

The decision to refuse planning permission for Ireland's first supervised injection centre has been described as deeply disappointing.

Merchants Quay Ireland says it is confused by some of the reasons for the refusal.

Merchant's Quay Ireland was awarded the tender for a safe injection facility in 2015 by a working group which included Dublin City Council.

 

But now the Council has refused permission for the facility saying there's already too many addiction services in the Dublin 8 area and that it would negatively impact on tourism.

Merchants Quay Ireland also says it will review Dublin City Council's decision and consider their next steps.
