Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore has insisted there is “no slippage” in the Government’s plan to ban sports sponsorship by the alcohol industry, despite Minister of State for Health Róisín Shortall’s admission it could take 10 years.
Mr Gilmore said Ms Shortall, who has responsibility for primary care, was preparing a memorandum for Government with proposals on how to phase out such sponsorship over a period of time.
“There’s no slippage. Róisín Shortall is taking a very courageous stand on an issue that has been neglected in Ireland for a very long time and she has my full support and the full support of the party in doing that,” he said.
