I echo what Deputy O'Reilly said. It is very important that we as a committee are very clear on the link between cancer and alcohol, and that any labelling is not just tokenism but is very stark, clear, unambiguous and fit for purpose, and that the information is clear to people looking at bottles rather than just box ticking. I support Deputy O'Reilly's comments on the link between alcohol and cancer on labels and that we would not dilute the message in any way.
