Fury for 'drug rooms' proposal

ANTI-DRUGS campaigners have described as outrageous Government plans to consider supervised injection facilities for chronic heroin addicts.

A community group also said it would oppose the move if such a facility was located in areas hit by the drug scourge.

Minister of State with responsibility for the Nationals Drugs Strategy Noel Ahern told the Irish Examiner he would be examining the use of "consumption rooms" in Germany and then decide whether or not to set up a pilot project here.
