@rteradio1: “We’re so proud that we can provide a health led response, but also a respectful response.” Colm visited Merchants Quay and took a tour around their Medically Supervised Injection Facility. He also spoke the CEO Eddie Mullins. The facility aims to provide a safe and clean environment for individuals to inject drugs under the care of trained medical professionals. It has been granted a 12-month license extension to operate until June 2027. #Drivetime

Wow!
I knew it was "going" to open. I knew it was delayed because of objections. This is the first time I became aware that it is actually up and running.
I always thought it was a brilliant idea. Great to see it's such a success 👏👏👏

After injecting, is there an area after the 15 minutes window to spend time if they want to, or do they leave the facility?

That’s brilliant we should have had it years ago . A practical way of dealing with addiction and making sure it’s as safe as it can be for people
