A plan to provide the country's first legal drug injection centre at Dublin's Merchant's Quay has been rejected by the High Court.

The planning permission granted by An Bord Pleanála was ruled invalid following a judicial review taken by the board of a primary school immediately beside the proposed facility in Dublin City Centre.

The judge said the proposed facility would allow the possession of drugs near the facility and the school feared that this would create a "drugs marketplace". However, the judge noted there was no reference to the school or its pupils in the planning board's decision.

Brilliant 👏👏

What the fuck is that a picture of

You call that image impartial? That's a disgusting and unrealistic portrayal of an injection centre. Who ever came up with the idea of using it for this story should be sacked immediately. Completely irresponsible.

this choice of image is disgraceful. like i’m at a loss for words.

Disgusting choice of photo yous should be embarrassed

Why on earth would you choose this image? That's not what it looks like.

The picture 😬 non biased media I guess 😉

Who on earth thought it was a good idea to have a drug injection facility next to a primary school? Good riddance

Finally, a sensible decision, rather than something motivated by the snowflake bleedin hearts club! Dublin City has enough problems with drug addicts and dealers bringing down the city, without this madness.

Wtf picture is this

This is a terrible image to choose and either serves to intentionally paint a negative picture or is just sloppy editorial.

Super discriminatory pic choice there editor.

Can’t have a can on the street but you can shoot heroin into your veins on the Main Street while you watch neighbours.

Every tweet that put out should be inundated with with videos from the Dublin protest. Whether its the news of a Dog in Donegal or Britney new lawyer.... People should respond to every story with the videos of the protest DublinProtest

How about we give addicts the portugal treatment..... give them medical and mental assistance and dont just leave them to destroy themselves with drugs.... Look what happened in america in San Francisco......when they allowed legal injection clinics....

This ruling makes no sense. This is Dublin, there's a school around every bloody corner. Also 'fears over a drug marketplace' - as opposed to whats already happening? Out of sight, out of mind. What a bloody joke.

'Move it anywhere on the Northside and we'll automatically greenlight it'

This is a bizarre choice of image and we all know what it's supposed to convey
