The locations where restrictions currently apply to the display of outdoor alcohol advertising are identified by the outdoor media companies who own the display areas in question. The Department does not have a list of the outdoor media locations where restrictions apply. However, the outdoor media companies have undertaken to adhere to the Code on alcohol advertising and take the necessary steps to replace alcohol advertising where new locations are identified or brought to their attention. If the Deputy is aware of any such location I would be happy to arrange to have the location examined to verify compliance with the Code.

I have recently received the Fourth Annual Report (2009) of the Alcohol Marketing Communications Monitoring Body. It will be published on the Department of Health and Children's website in the coming days. A copy of the Report will be sent directly to the Deputy.
