83 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Health and Children the steps he will take to restrict sponsorship of sport by alcohol producers. [5501/01]
I have expressed my concerns on the issue of sport sponsorship and alcohol and a number of actions have been taken which are relevant to this issue.
At present research, commissioned by the health promotion unit of my Department, is being carried out into the impact of alcohol advertising on young people. The results will be available later this year and the outcome of this will help to inform further action in this area.
