The Public Health (Alcohol) Bill is due to be debated in Dáil in the coming weeks with the Government determined to have it passed (or substantially progressed) in the Autumn session. The bill will introduce minimum pricing, health labelling (eg, calories), restrict advertising and sponsorship and force shops to separate alcohol from other products, writes Leslie Williams.
