Yesterday, Alcohol Action Ireland held a conference in Dublin entitled "Girls, Women and Alcohol: The changing nature of female alcohol consumption in Ireland". The speakers outlined the serious impact of too much alcohol on women, especially on those who are pregnant and their babies, and warned of the link between alcohol and cancer. At the weekend, we learned that cancer survival rates in the State are among the lowest in Europe. These all require the speedy introduction of legislation. The public health (alcohol) Bill has been dithering for a very long time. Can we be told when it will be published?
