A ban on the sale of alcohol in supermarkets and garages should be considered by Government, a new report on alcohol and drugs has said.
The Report on the Misuse of Alcohol and Other Drugs, from the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children, recommended an outright ban should be considered “in the longer term” in such outlets.
The committee’s chairman, Fine Gael TD Jerry Buttimer, said members believed the proliferation of outlets for alcohol had led to an increase in consumption.
