Dublin pub breached code on drink promotions

A south Dublin pub has been found to be in breach of a national code of practice on alcohol promotions.

The Portobello Bar has been advertising all pints for €3 between the hours of 3pm and 7pm every day.

A member of the public complained about the ad to MEAS, the body set up by the drinks industry to promote responsible enjoyment of alcohol.

MEAS found that the promotion at the Portobello could encourage binge-drinking, drunkenness or drink-driving.
