The director of a national drug addiction service has called for the decriminalisation of drug use in Ireland.
Ireland’s first supervised injection facilities are expected to open before the end of the year - with the government due to publish the Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill by mid-January.
The legislation is expected to create a legal framework for the facilities to operate within the state.
Speaking to the Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk this morning, Tony Duffin, director of the Ana Liffey project in Dublin said that despite “sterling work” by the gardaí, problems with drug addiction in Ireland have been getting steadily worse.
