Classic tale of private wealth trumping public health in @thejournal_ie about how alcohol industry delayed Ireland's health labelling laws: from closed-door meeting with @MichealMartinTD to using 'very misleading' claims linked to tobacco & asbestos ⬇️
Inside the alcohol industry’s global campaign to delay Ireland’s world-first health labels
New documents reveal an organised effort by alcohol giants to pressure the Irish government into delaying landmark cancer warnings.

In the 12 weeks since govt delayed labelling, around 230 people have been diagnosed with cancer caused by alcohol. Labels tell people the facts so they can make informed choices about their consumption. When it comes to cancer, prevention is better than cure @CarrollJennifer
@CarrollJennifer And critically in the same period upwards of 1500 babies have been born with FASD, with life-long neuro developmental issues. Yet alcohol industry seeks to hide these harms.

Women and kids often pay a heavy price when men drink. Our gender violence plan should reflect this
We can’t prevent violence against women and children without tackling men’s heavy alcohol use.

Alcohol labels, which are delayed until 2028, are vital to inform people that alcohol causes cancer. Between now & 2028 more than 3,000 people in Ireland will be diagnosed with cancer caused by alcohol. The new Sept 2028 introduction date must be adhered to @CarrollJennifer
