Good article and great work from @rackard_marion and others. Less than 8,000 entering planned specialist treatment in Ireland annually looks very low. This number should be compared to unplanned alcohol related workloads in Emergency Medicine , Liver Medicine etc. @AHA_IRL

[AHA Ireland @AHA_IRL]

Significant leadership shown by @DonnellyStephen @roinnslainte
And the dedication of our member organisations particularly with recent submissions to EU.
Thank you!

This is a real vindication of the many years of dedicated campaigning by the Alcohol Health Alliance Ireland members. Thank you to all. This is a significant day for public health in Ireland and hopefully will also pave the way for other jurisdictions.

[AlcoholActionIreland @AlcoholIreland]

Very pleased to note that @DonnellyStephen has signed into law regulations in relation to health information labelling of alcohol products. 👏 👏

This is a significant step in alcohol policy and for the consumer’s right to know the risks from alcohol.

Alcohol labelling is not alarmist.
It is empowering the public with information to make healthier lifestyle choices.
It embraces the publics 'Right to Know' @AHA_IRL @AlcoholIreland @SheilaGilheany @DonnellyStephen @OireachtasNews @HsehealthW @HSELive @roinnslainte @DrugsHse

[Irish Cancer Society @IrishCancerSoc]

Health labelling will empower people to make informed decisions about alcohol by raising awareness of the risk it poses to health. We welcome news from the EU Commission that the Government can move ahead with this.

Health warnings on alcohol products and marketing is essential to improve public awareness and advance health literacy of the risk from alcohol consumption.

What is the alcohol producers afraid of telling their consumers, when public support is so high?

Glad to see @frances_black + @SeanadCEG press clarification from @cathmartingreen that alcohol is a public health interest for children and that online safety codes to be devised by the Commission, as outlined in Online Safety Media Reg' Bill, can reflect that concern.👋👋👋

[AHA Ireland @AHA_IRL]

The full implementation of the Public Health Alcohol Act, 2018, is necessary if the full impact of the measures enacted are to be effective.

[AlcoholActionIreland @AlcoholIreland]

We welcome the Irish government’s notification of Draft Regulations under Section 12 of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 to the European Commission.

We are pleased to see the 75th WHO Assembly has adopted the Global Action Plan (2022-2030) to reduce harmful use of alcohol.

There has been much discussion and work by many to bring us to this point, but we now have a good plan to advance in the years ahead.

Given recent media debate it is important to clarify that @TheUSI are members of this Alliance, since 2015, and have consistently supported the enactment and implementation of Public Health Alcohol Act, including signing this open letter on MUP last May.
