Leading Fine Gael figures have joined the chorus of disquiet about the government's proposal to ban the sponsorship of sporting events by drinks companies.
Cork South West TD Noel Harrington has said that he's against the ban because he's concerned, “about the impact this is going to have at grass roots level. How is this funding going to be replaced? That's the problem.”
Leo Varadkar, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, has also raised concerns about the proposals to be brought to Cabinet by Labour junior minister Alex Whyte.
“Minister White is putting forward is a whole package of measures and they are about more than sport,” said the Minister.
