MOTION: Councillor M. Duff

This Council calls upon the Chief Executive to engage with the Tallaght and Clondalkin Drugs and Alcohol Task Forces, the HSE Addiction Services and the Community Drug Treatment Projects to explore the setting up of a Medically Supervised Safe Injection Facility, within our County, to provide a safe and secure environment for intravenous drug users, in an effort to reduce and ultimately eliminate deaths through accidental overdose.

REPORT:

The Community Department team have a long-standing history of supporting and working with the relevant drug and alcohol task forces and community addiction support and drug treatment programmes and will continue to engage with such organisations in the context of any emerging facility requirements they may have.
