Search for suitable ‘injecting room’ site in Dublin

The HSE has launched the search for a facility in Dublin where drug users can inject themselves in a safe environment.

A tender has just been published on the Government’s etenders website seeking “suitably qualified and experienced service providers” to submit applications to provide a medically supervised injecting facility in Dublin city centre area.

It said the service will provide for adults who use drugs “who are on the premises of the supervised injecting facility with the permission of the licence holder, for the purposes of consuming drugs by injection only”.
