The Minister for Health has confirmed that he will seek Cabinet approval on the minimum unit price of alcohol by the end of the year.
Media companies found it "very difficult initially", according to the Director of Drinks Ireland Patricia Callan, because the perimeter of schools did not exist on maps.Ms Callan also points out that there are implications in terms of public transport, resulting in a revenue loss for organisations. Moves by the Scottish Government to tackle alcohol dependency has not been lost on the Minister for Health.Minimum unit pricing was set to be brought in Ireland at the same time as Northern Ireland.
The drug dealers will love this, When people can't afford alcohol they will turn 2 the drugs instead And this will cause misery 2 so many families There is already 2 many families with empty seats around there kitchen table because of drugs, And what do fine Gael do about it?
Must look after their vintner cronies!!!
Bloody stupid idea. I’m all for health improvements, but this is just another tax. Adding a few cents to a drink won’t stop people buying them.
If they vote this through it will not be the end of their meddling. Nanny state gone too far. Will never vote Fine Gael if this goes through. The rich will not be affected by this again. Just the poor.
They will still be paying peanuts in the dail bar
This Will Destroy fine Gael in the next election, And could cost people there Jobs, Working in pubs and off licenses,
The dail bar martini's will increase to € 2.00 a pop
All the money will go to ni
Get the fuck out of my pockets
No tax cuts and now screwing us on a few pints. Scum
And the Dail Bar
