Publicans’ seminar to tackle underage drinking and drug use

PUBLICANS from all over Co Waterford are to attend a day-long seminar in Dungarvan tomorrow which aims to provide them with information on dealing with difficult situations, using first aid and increasing their knowledge of the effects of drink and drugs.

The free seminar is being organised by publicans under the ‘Glasses’ programme and will involve a number of presentations on safe practices and the present trends in the licensed trade.

Up to 200 publicans and their staff are expected to attend the seminar, which will start at the Park Hotel, Dungarvan, at 9.30am.
