A number of crunch meetings were yesterday held in a bid to ease the worries of senators before the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015 is debated in the Seanad this afternoon.
However, Government senators are still concerned that the bill will severely impact on small rural retailers and corner shops.
The bill, which is at committee stage, would introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol, would require health warnings on labels and also further restrict the advertising of alcohol.
