This legislation is a very, very important step in reducing our alcohol consumption and thereby reducing the harms that are caused from alcohol.
Ireland is on the brink of a significant shift in its approach to alcohol regulation, and Catherine Keane from Alcohol Action Ireland is here to break it all down. In this episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast, Keane dives into the Ireland Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, a pioneering piece of legislation aimed at curbing alcohol consumption and its associated harms.
From health warnings on labels to restrictions on marketing and minimum unit pricing, Keane explains the various measures proposed in the bill and how they could reshape Ireland's relationship with alcohol. She also touches on potential future regulations, like banning alcohol sponsorship in sports and tighter controls on digital marketing. This episode offers a thorough look at the bill's potential impact and the challenges it might face in the Irish parliament.
Whether you're interested in public health, policy-making, or simply curious about how these changes could affect everyday life in Ireland, this episode is a must-listen.
