Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
General Scheme of Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Dr. Tony Holohan:
The figure is in the hundreds, but we will get a precise figure for Deputy Byrne. As late as yesterday we were having discussions with the Department about the planned expansion of that service, in line with what the Minister said. We know we will need to invest in both the number and the capacity of environmental health officers, as well as training. They will be instrumental in enforcing this legislation.
