We fully appreciate the concerns raised by staff and parents of children at St. Audeon’s National School. No one wants children exposed to the sight of drug use and drug litter. We believe that the MSIF can provide an effective response to the concerns raised. Research from MSIFs abroad has shown a reduction in public injecting and drug litter. We are keen to maintain a dialogue with St Audoen’s, as we are with all those living, working or studying in the Merchant’s Quay area, to ensure that the MSIF benefits everyone.
