Minister for Health says public should be directed to HSE for trusted information on alcohol

“We are all aware of critical health issues where this is an ongoing challenge, for example in relation to vaccinations.”

“The media, both traditional and social, is an important and influential source of information for the public. The media in Ireland has a track record, underpinned by principles of good journalism, of supporting the public by providing information, creating awareness and supporting greater knowledge and understanding to help empower people around their own health and wellbeing.
