A representative of the alcohol industry in Ireland has today denied that drinks companies are not trying to sell their products to young people through sports sponsorship.
Yesterday, Junior Minister for Health Roisin Shortall made it clear that she would like to see the practice banned here.
She told her Dáil colleagues that contractual arrangements currently in place prevent the immediate implementation of a ban, but she also confirmed that she's working with national sporting bodies to agree a proposal on the phasing out of alcohol sponsorship.
