Parents of the children attending a city centre primary school have slammed the "disgraceful" plans for a supervised drug injection centre 150 yards from St Audoen's National School.
Plans for the first of its kind facility on Merchant's Quay were approved by An Bord Pleanala during the Christmas period, Dublin Live previously revealed. Drug users would be legally allowed to inject drugs, which they have to purchase illegally outside, in the facility.
The injection rooms are set to be in the basement of the River Bank building on Merchant's Quay. The frustrated parents told Dublin Live the area already has severe problems with drug use which impacts on the children.
