The Alliance, which represents 52 of Ireland’s leading voices in medicine and health advocacy urged the immediate enactment of the Bill, that has now languished before the House of the Oireachtas for over 650 days.
Speaking as Chair of the Alcohol Health Alliance, Prof. Frank Murray said:
“There is an unsustainable crisis in Ireland as a result of how much alcohol we consume and the way in which we drink. There is widespread concern about this and a huge public desire to take effective action to reduce alcohol harm. For too long, the alcohol industry has had too much influence on policy. The alcohol industry should have no role in national alcohol policy, which must be protected from distortion by commercial or vested interests, as stated by the director of the World Health Organization.
