A planning application for the country's first drug injection centre will be made before the end of the month according to Merchants Quay Ireland.
MQI won the tender six months ago to operate the facility in a basement area of its premises on Merchant's Quay.
The organisation's outgoing CEO Tony Geoghegan said the application had been delayed by building design issues but the application will now be lodged before October.
Mr Geoghegan was speaking at the launch of MQI's annual report which showed that the organisation helped 10,417 people with addiction, homeless and mental health issues last year.
The MQI Night Cafe provided mats 19,368 times to nearly 2,000 rough sleepers.
There was also detox and rehab treatment for 107 individuals.
