The formation of the Alliance, which includes AAI Chair & Public Health and Advocacy Committee Member at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), Prof Frank Murray, sends a clear message that alcohol harm must be tackled using effective, evidence-based policies
Great piece by @sburx & Norah Campbell @TCDBusiness outlining how @SimonHarrisTD position on alcohol labelling is the "dream outcome" for the alcohol industry, who have worked tirelessly to stymie any public health measures around alcohol #stickwithlabels
We deserve better than delays to landmark health legislation
Alcohol labelling laws have repeatedly been delayed, with American tariffs cited most recently, write Sara Burke and Norah Campbell

"It is the Health Minister @CarrollJennifer who would sign an order delaying health labelling. Is she really going to allow her own department’s policy to be derailed or will she stand up for health given her remarks about pressure on Emergency Departments and hospital beds?"

@AlcoholIreland @SimonHarrisTD @rtenews @IrishTimes @irishexaminer @NewstalkFM @Independent_ie Coming from a man who as Minister for Health thanked my wife and I for our support of The Public Health Alcohol Bill.we feel betrayed by your meaningless words.something once so important to you is now deemed by you to be a hinderance to the Alcohol Industry .
Ireland's Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD has said the timeline for implementing health warning labels was “something we do have to give consideration” in light of proposed tariffs.
Dr @SheilaGilheany said @AlcoholIreland was “absolutely shocked” by the...
Ingredients info and health warnings are critical for all products consumed by citizens. Even medical products carry warnings. This is an unacceptable turnaround by the former Minister for Health who was responsible for the very 2018 Act to protect the health of the public.
Absolutely shocking comments from @SimonHarrisTD proposing delays to alcohol labelling.
Simon Harris steered through the legislation for labelling. Time to face down industry lobbying.

Who in government will put the public interest before the enormous profits of the global alcohol industry?
Alcohol Action Ireland @AlcoholIreland has criticised the Tánaister after he suggested today that the introduction of health labels on alcohol products may be delayed.
@InstAlcStud have urged @MichealMartinTD & @CarrollJennifer to ensure Ireland's world leading health info labelling of alcohol products is not derailed or delayed. Labels will ensure consumers are told the truth: that alcohol causes cancer & liver disease.

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.
