Sponsorship of Major Sporting Events by Drinks Industry: Discussion with Alcohol Action Ireland and College of Psychiatrists of Ireland
11:25 am
Dr. Eamon Keenan:
I have a brief comment to make. The call for the ban on alcohol industry sponsorship is only part of the recommendations from the national substance misuse strategy. The other recommendations we made include a social responsibility levy on the drinks industry. If this was implemented, it would be up to the Government how to spend that money.
