Speculation is mounting that a third high-profile organisation has resigned from the board of the controversial Diageo-funded alcohol awareness campaign.
St Patrick’s Mental Health Services are understood to have withdrawn from the Stop Out-of-Control Drinking campaign in recent days.
The news follows the earlier resignations of Dr Ciara Kelly and Krystian Fikert of mental health care organisation MyMind from the board.
Independent senator and former Children’s Rights Alliance chief executive Jillian van Turnhout told the Seanad that it had been confirmed to her that the body had withdrawn its support from the campaign.
“We firstly had Dr Ciara Kelly; secondly over the last week or 10 days we saw that MyMind as an organisation has withdrawn from the campaign; and now, I have had confirmed that St Patrick’s Mental Health Services has withdrawn from the campaign and have withdrawn all their support to the campaign,” she said.
