Title Ireland criticised for 'high levels of alcohol industry penetration' of policymaking Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Irish Examiner Media type Print Duration/Length/Size 500 words Country/Territory Ireland Date 30/10/2024 Description An international study has found “high levels of alcohol industry penetration” in the formulation of government alcohol policies in 24 countries, including Ireland.
The findings have been criticised by Alcohol Action Ireland, which described industry access to policymakers as “extensive”.
However, the Irish drinks industry said it had a “right” to engage with policymakers, given the scale of the sector in Ireland.Producer/Author Cormac O’Keeffe URL https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41527631.html Persons Gillian Shorter
