Plans to bring in health labels on drinks could be pushed back until 2029 instead of being announced next week.
The planned introduction of the law next year would have made Ireland the first country in the world to insist on health warnings on bottles containing alcoholic drinks.
Alcohol Action Ireland says postponing the decision is another instance of the Taoiseach and Health Minister turning their backs on public health.
CEO Sheila Gilheany says waiting for the green light from the Europe won't work in this instance, and she spoke to us this morning on The
Agenda about this.
We were also joined by Fine Gael TD in Offaly, John Clendennen, who recently called for the deferral of certain alcohol labelling provisions in light of increased trade tensions
