General Scheme of the Sale of Alcohol Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Sheila Gilheany:

Problems around alcohol are not insurmountable. That is one of the things that gives me great hope because we can look at other societies and see where there have been changes. For example, Lithuania has achieved really remarkable changes in quite a short timeframe by introducing the World Health Organization's key recommendations around the control of marketing, availability and pricing. It is not an insurmountable problem.
