Prohibition must be agreed between Ministers for Health and Sport.
A clause allowing for the banning of alcohol sponsorship of sports is to be included next month in new legislation designed to limit the sale and misuse of drink.
However, the implementation of such a ban – which has faced vigorous opposition from sporting organisations and drinks companies – will be subject to the full agreement of the Minister for Health and Minister for Sport.
Both Leo Varadkar and Paschal Donohoe have said alternative funding for sporting organisations must be in place before any ban is introduced.
