Plans are being drawn up for the country's first drug injection centre, in Dublin city centre.
The Ana Liffey project is working on legislation to allow the facility and also wants to set up an emergency stabilisation facility for addicts.
Unveiling its strategy for the next two years, the addiction treatment service said lawyers are drawing up legislation that would allow injection rooms.
The Ana Liffey project says the medically supervised centres would reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and public injecting.
It says injection centres are used in over 90 countries worldwide, and that it would reduce the number of fatal overdoses, now running at one a day.
