	Controlled injection centres for drug users are one option for tackling Ireland&#39;s drug abuse problem, according to the hosts of a drug policy workshop.</p>
<p>
	It is being discussed at a meeting about Ireland&#39;s drug policy organised by the London School of Economics.</p>
<p>
	Controlled centres would mean the legalisation of some drugs, and would allow people to use them in a supervised space, while also being given access to addiction treatment.</p>
<p>
	Tony Duffin from the Ana Liffey Drug Project says that there are a number of faces to Ireland&#39;s drug problem.</p>
<p>
	He said: &quot;We have high instances of young people taking drugs.</p>
<p>
	&quot;The instances of a cocktail of drugs, the range of things like mental health issues, so dual diagnosis, are a real serious problem we have at the moment.&quot;</p>
