Calls for online alcohol sales to be regulated amid reported increase of drinking

There are calls for the Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan to bring in new rules to combat "dial-a-drink" services.

Alcohol Forum says loopholes in law on online alcohol sales need to be closed to protect children.

80% of people believe online alcohol sales should have the same regulations as a pub.

The study was carried out by Red C earlier this month and found almost one in three Irish adults are drinking more alcohol since the introduction of the Covid-19 restrictions.
