Throughout the development of the Sale of Alcohol Bill, my Department engaged in an extensive consultation process with stakeholders, including other Government Departments, Government agencies, the Health Service Executive, representative bodies in the licensed trade, businesses, public health bodies and advocacy groups, consumers and communities in relation to the proposed legislation.
My Department also engaged with the Department of Health via the formal consultation process on all memoranda to Government concerning the Sale of Alcohol Bill. My Department will continue to engage with the Department of Health on the matter.
