The Government should push through plans to limit the sale of alcohol, and alcohol sponsorship of sport and culture events despite Cabinet divisions, Kathleen Lynch, the junior health minister, said yesterday.
Ms Lynch was speaking after the launch of a major study on youth mental health which found a strong link between drinking and negative mental health.
The largest study of youth mental health ever conducted in Ireland, the My World survey shows that while the majority of young people were functioning well across a variety of mental health indicators, others were not, and that mental health difficulties peaked in the late teens and early 20s.
