AN BORD PLEANÁLA has granted planning permission for Ireland’s first supervised injecting facility in Dublin city centre.
Plans to build a medically supervised injecting facility (MSIF) at Merchants Quay Ireland’s Riverbank Centre on the city’s south quays have been in the works for over three years.
In July, the council refused planning permission for the addiction and homelessness charity to build the MSIF following fierce resistance from local businesses and residents and the nearby St Audoen’s National School.
In total, 99 objections were lodged against the plan including a number from hotels and restaurants in the area over concerns that the MSIF would contribute to a decline in tourists and trade.
