Minister for Health asks officials to study judgment by European Court of Justice.
Minister for Health Leo Varadkar says he remains committed to the introduction of minimum unit pricing for alcohol despite an adverse European court ruling on the proposal.
Mr Varadkar has asked his officials to study the implications of the judgment by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in conjunction with the office of the Attorney General.
The court ruled the Scottish government’s plan for a minimum alcohol price would breach EU law if less restrictive tax measures could be introduced.
