The Health Service Executive has moved a step closer to opening a supervised drug injecting facility in Dublin, after it confirmed that Merchants Quay Ireland is the preferred bidder to operate the centre on a pilot basis.
It is planned to operate the facility for an 18-month period in its pilot phase.
A number of conditions will need to be in place ahead of formal approval, including ongoing communication with local residents and business owners, and the establishment of a monitoring committee to oversee the facility.
The HSE said that Merchants Quay Project CLG will have to appoint a Community Liaison Worker and an external evaluation of the pilot phase will also need to be carried out.
