Ireland's laws on alcohol could be about to change—if the Oireachtas have the stomach for it. In June of last year, Ireland informed the European Commission of its intention to introduce health warning labels on alcoholic products sold in the country, a provision allowed under Ireland's draft Public Health Regulations 2022. These labels would contain three key messages: “drinking alcohol causes liver disease”; “there is a direct link between alcohol and fatal cancers”; and a symbol representing the dangers of drinking alcohol while pregnant. Because Ireland received no formal objections from the European Commission during a 6-month moratorium period, despite opposition from Italy, Spain, and six other EU member states, the Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, is now free to sign these provisions into law.
