New research by @SSCatTUS_ie & @QUBelfast shows 4 in every 5 people support alcohol health information labelling. The public consistently tell politicians they want labels as is their right as consumers

1/3 We’re supporting calls for Ireland to now press ahead with alcohol health labelling, including cancer warnings - a vital step backed by @WHO_Europe in this compelling report. It's time for accurate consumer information, not "drink responsibly" slogans.

Another letter to @MichealMartinTD urging Ireland to stay the course on alcohol labels. @BalanceNE works to reduce harm from alcohol: to health, families & society; the alcohol industry works to enrich their shareholders. Who will the Taoiseach listen to? https://alcoholireland.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Director-of-Fresh-and-Balance.pdf
@AlcoholIreland Listening to the Alcohol Industry over the past week and their objections to the labelling and their absolute belief that it will not work has me confused. If it will not work then why are they so opposed to it , logically they should be saying nothing and clapping their hands .
(l-r) Dr Norah Campbell (Trinity School of Business), Prof Diarmuid O’Shea (RCPI), Prof Frank Murray (Consultant Hepatologist & AAI chair), Amy Rose Harte (Irish Cancer Society) & Dr Sheila Gilheany (AAI CEO) addressing lawmakers at Leinster House today over alcohol labelling
Many politicians are happy to meet with industry representatives but would baulk at meeting those representing public health - and one wonders where they get their information, or disinformation, from. It’s hard to get the proper picture when you’re only listening to one side
The Programme for Government committed to tackle harmful alcohol consumption through effective regulations. Why then are some elements in government undermining this commitment, which makes the government look confused about its own policy? @MichealMartinTD @CarrollJennifer
Reps from public health, medicine & business including AAI will set the record straight on alcohol labelling for lawmakers at Leinster House tomorrow. People have a right to know the risks associated with alcohol consumption & to make informed decisions

What we're working on now
Highlighting the harm caused by problem alcohol use in the home and its impact across the lifespan.
There are significant concerns about aspects of the Sale of Alcohol Bill which are likely to lead to increased alcohol harm.
Ireland’s Public Health Alcohol Act is based on WHO ‘best buys’ of price, promotion & availability to tackle alcohol harm.
Harnessesing the lived experience of people in recovery from alcohol to drive policy change.
You are not alone...
Shared Voices aims to provide a platform for those who have lived with the trauma of parental problem alcohol use; give voice to their experience, so that others too can know that they are not alone.
