A body representing the off-licence trade has called for the introduction of minimum pricing on alcohol and a ban on below-cost selling, moves the Government has already signalled it is examining.
The National Off-Licence Association (Noffla) today addressed the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children, which has recently been examining the issue of alcohol marketing.
Also before the committee was the drinks industry-funded group Meas, which stands for Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society. Meas said “thorough and full research” must be done in the area of minimum pricing before any legislation was considered.
