Finally: Dublin has a supervised injection centre. These centres are proven reduce dumped needles, cut public injecting, and massively reduce the risk to people in addiction. It's long overdue - and our city and wider country will need more.

Soon Dublin will be a utopia like San Francisco

Mick Maguire1 year ago

The San Franciscization of Dublin is almost complete. You can look forward to the wonders of “harm reduction” policies like below very soon.

How is the area now since it was implemented? I used to live down at HSQ and this stretch was pretty much a no go area after dark & very unpleasant in the day. Has it worsened or improved? It just would not be worth living or working anywhere near MQI, that's the sad reality.

Similar issues as before, unfortunately. It's only been a few days open now. Based on other city experiences, there should be a big reduction in public injecting and needle dumping. Experiences with anti social behaviour and crime range from reduction to no change, it seems.

Whereabouts is this place Michael? After 5 years with the Green Party at the helm I could do with something to alleviate my mood and allow me an escape from the trauma your party has put us through these last 5 years

Next on the list. Public toilets. There is shit on every back lane in town. Imagine closing all the public toilets. Now we spend 350k a year on portacabins at Stephens green.

I believe this is a positive change, hope there will be also support offered for those who want to do something about their addiction.

Thanks @Pidge .good work. 👌

How about investing in more rehabilitation centres to get people off drugs? not injection centres that keep people addicted.

"It's the other way around. The higher your cholesterol, the more protected you are against heart disease." "If there's any benefit of statins to be had, then that can be achieved entirely by taking some vitamin D." "And you would massively reduce heart attacks."

A man in his 40s has been arrested following an arson attack on a mosque in Dublin city centre. He was filmed shouting, “Go back to your country. We don’t want Islam in this country.” This is the kind of rhetoric Tommy Robinson and the far right push every day. It fuels hatred and puts innocent people at risk.

We need to connect people directly to treatment, stabilization, and long-term recovery instead of referring them to drug consumption sites. We are shutting down the Sheldon M. Chumir supervised consumption site in Calgary and reinvesting those funds into expanded addiction treatment, medical detox, recovery supports and 24-hour outreach teams that will help more people move from crisis toward recovery. Shutting down sites like this increases public safety, revitalizes local businesses, and gets those struggling with addiction into the programs they need.
