In October 2013, as part of a suite of measures to deal with alcohol misuse, the Government decided to establish a working group to consider the impact of regulating alcohol sponsorship of major sporting events by alcohol companies. This group is due to report to Government by October of this year.  The working group is chaired by the Department of the Taoiseach and my Department is represented on it. I look forward to receiving a copy of the Working Group's report when it has concluded its work.
