Third group steps down from Diageo alcohol campaign

Speculation is mounting that a third high-profile organisation has resigned from the board of the controversial Diageo-funded alcohol awareness campaign.

St Patrick’s Mental Health Services are understood to have withdrawn from the Stop Out-of-Control Drinking campaign in recent days.

The news follows the earlier resignations of Dr Ciara Kelly and Krystian Fikert of mental health care organisation MyMind from the board.
