My Department's legislative programme includes a proposal to provide for the placing of health advice/warnings about the consumption of alcohol during pregnancy, and other health messages, on all alcoholic drink containers and promotional materials. A public consultation has taken place and the submissions received are being considered. The legislation will be developed in the normal way subject to the competing priorities of the Department's legislative programme.
