Alcohol has claimed the lives of 2,000 people since the government first began deliberating over the controversial Alcohol Bill two years ago, a leading charity has warned.
Alcohol Action Ireland (AAI) has also claimed more than 100,000 children have started drinking since the legislation was first raised in the Seanad.
On Wednesday Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the long-stalled Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, 2015, would be reintroduced in the Seanad in November, after the Halloween break.
The Bill aims to greatly reduce alcohol consumption in Ireland by 2020 and to reduce the harms associated with alcohol.
