The statistics requested by the Deputy are not available at present. Since 2004 direct alcohol related deaths have been collected through the National Drug-Related Deaths Index. I am informed by the Health Research Board that in March 2008 the number of alcohol related deaths for 2004 and 2005 will be available. 2006 data will be available in 2009.
