Alcohol labelling tells people the truth that alcohol causes cancer & liver disease. Consumers have the right to know the facts to make informed decisions on their consumption. There can be no delaying Ireland's world leading alcohol labelling regulations

"Tobacco is listed as the 6th most dangerous drug & is covered with graphic warning labels. Alcohol is No 1 and has no labels. If it was invented today alcohol would be a Class A drug. I’ve heard so many people say, ‘I didn’t realise alcohol can kill you’"

.@CarrollJennifer Behind alcohol harm stats are personal stories of lost & disrupted lives. Alcohol health info labels tell people the truth that alcohol causes liver disease & cancer. Labels have the potential to save lives. There can be no delay on this vital health measure
“We must look to the fearless work of our neighbours in Ireland whose new labelling policy provides a level playing field for all producers”
Prof Sir Ian Gilmore, chair Alcohol Health Alliance

Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say
Health organisations have written to Keir Starmer urging him to force drinks producers to include warnings

Govt must come clean on whether it plans to defer introduction of mandatory alcohol warning labels.
Several ministers have suggested this public health measure may be parked due to US tariff threat - even though it won't apply to exports.

.@CarrollJennifer today urged @OliverVarhelyi to bring forward asap revised EU Tobacco Products Directive to protect young people from the harms caused by tobacco & nicotine products. Ireland is a world leader when it comes to tobacco & alcohol regulations

Fewer than 5% of Irish 15- to 17-year-olds are smokers today compared with around two thirds who consume alcohol. This points to the effectiveness of Ireland’s smoking regulations to protect children, including advertising ban, consistent rises in excise duties & warning labels
Labelling will tell young people the truth about alcohol: that it causes liver disease & cancer. It has the potential to transform how young people view alcohol as they grow up, just like it has done with tobacco. There can be no backtracking on such an important measure
.@CarrollJennifer must stand firm in the face of colleagues' confusion around alcohol health info labels. Labelling is agreed policy. Any move to backtrack puts industry profits before the health & wellbeing of Irish people

New report from @InstAlcStud & @SHAAPAlcohol analysed 140+ UK alcohol industry documents & found a strategy of cherry-picking evidence, overstating economic value & downplaying health harms. Policymakers must act on the facts – not industry spin.

Alcohol health info labels are already in shops on wine, which is IMPORTED. Labelling has no impact on exports @peterburkefg @sineadgibney @MichealMartinTD @CarrollJennifer @Paschald People have right to know the risks to make informed decisions on their drinking #stickwithlabels
Letter from @wcrfint to @MichealMartinTD and @CarrollJennifer urging Ireland to resist industry influence & stand firm on the introduction of alcohol health information labelling as planned next May. Doing so will set a much-needed example for other Governments across the globe.
