Drug users may be allowed to inject heroin and other drugs in a medically supervised setting from next year if new legislation is passed.
Minister of State Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, who has special responsibility for the national drugs strategy, has asked Department of Health officials to examine proposals for supervised injection centres.
If the bill is enacted clinics would be rolled out in Dublin and other parts of the country.
