Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
565. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when section 9 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008, which provides for the structural segregation of alcohol from other grocery products by means of a wall or similar barrier, will be commenced. [37735/15]
View answerThe position is that the Minister for Health and I have recently reviewed, in the context of the forthcoming Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, matters relating to the structural separation of alcohol products from other products in mixed trading outlets such as supermarkets and convenience stores, including the putting in place of appropriate future enforcement mechanisms. We intend jointly to submit proposals in relation to these matters to Government in the context of finalisation of the contents of the forthcoming Public Health (Alcohol) Bill.
