A group of between 100 and 150 people are believed to be responsible for the bulk of anti-social behaviour, including begging and public injecting.
Under a new model, gardai and staff from the Ana Liffey Drug Project (ALDP) have been working with the most complex cases of street drug users to help move them into more stable settings, including treatment and better housing.
The pilot project, launched in 2014, has been reviewed for the first time and a number of positive results were found, including a reduction in anti-social behaviour.
