The true extent of alcohol-related violence and intimidation has been revealed in startling new research.
According to a survey commissioned by the charity, Alcohol Action Ireland (AAI), half of people say they have experienced some type of alcohol-related intimidation, threat or violence during the last 12 months, while almost one in 10 claim that they, or a family member, has actually been assaulted by a drunk person in the last year.
However, in the case of assaults, half of people said that they had not reported the crime to the Gardai.
