Government moves to back away from banning sponsorship of sport by alcohol brands would be "spineless", a former GAA president has warned.
Mick Loftus expressed alarm after ministers looked set to abandon plans to end drinks giants using major sports events for publicity.
A Cabinet sub-committee will examine the issue on Monday, but sources say the bid to ban sponsorship will be dropped.
Dr Loftus, who led the GAA from 1985-1987, said the Government’s weakness would continue to foster a culture linking alcohol and healthy activity.
“I can’t believe they are not going to impose the ban, alcohol does so much damage,” said Dr Loftus. “It will be spineless of them.
