While blaming Ireland's cocaine issue on cost of alcohol may make for a provocative read, it is logical fallacy. There is no evidence decreasing alcohol use is causing increased cocaine use, nor that they're linked @cooper_m @UnaMullally @MichealMartinTD

Here is an article I wrote this week talking to Dr. @SheilaGilheany from Alcohol Action Ireland @AlcoholIreland
#PHAA
Alcohol health info labels already on multiple products from multiple countries in supermarkets across Ireland in advance of the start date of May 2026. Why seek to delay what is already law.
@drivetimerte
Alcohol health info labelling is key to efforts to reduce incidence of cancer in Ireland. Alcohol causes 1 in 8 breast cancers. There is no safe threshold of consumption. Women of Ireland have a right to be informed of the risks from drinking @CarrollJennifer @MichealMartinTD
I spoke to Dr. @SheilaGilheany from Alcohol Action Ireland @AlcoholIreland today on @NearFM about the possible postponement of alcohol health labels coming in and why they might be postponed?

Social Democrats TD Sineád Gibney has accused the government of bending to the demands of the alcohol industry as planned legislation which would have put health warnings on alcoholic products has been quietly nixed https://dublinpeople.com/news/dublin/articles/2025/06/26/gibney-alcohol-label/
The consequences of delaying the introduction of alcohol health information labels will be felt by Irish people every day of every week. Are Irish lives really a sacrifice worth making to protect alcohol industry profits? @CarrollJennifer @MichealMartinTD
The Public Health (Alcohol) Act will struggle to achieve its stated aims as long as some important aspects of the Act are still not operational & others are being undermined by loopholes. Time for government to get its Act together!

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.
