The chairwoman of the Cork Local Drugs and Alcohol Task Force (CLDATF) has said public drug injecting “has not gone away” despite a court ruling halting long-awaited plans for a safer injecting facility in Dublin.

Colette Kelleher said it was a “real setback” for Cork too as the local task force campaigned for a similar facility in the city.
