Enforcement of the provisions of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act and for public health law on tobacco control, cosmetic products, drinking water, food safety, sun beds control and infectious diseases is a matter for the Environmental Health Service division of the Health Service Executive. I do not receive reports from the Environmental Health Service on compliance with individual provisions of the vast array of public health legislation which that Service enforces on an ongoing basis.

Enforcement of section 22 of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 on the separation and visibility of alcohol products and advertisements for alcohol products in specified licensed premises is a matter for the Health Service Executive. I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
