Minimum Unit Pricing formed part of the discussions I had with Minister Swann and Minister Kearney at the recent North South Ministerial Council - Health and Food Safety Meeting of the 26 March this year. At the meeting we noted the continuing progress on the development and implementation of strategies to prevent the harm related to alcohol and drug misuse in both jurisdictions. The North South Ministerial Council agreed to meet again in its Health and Food Safety sectoral format in late 2021. The agenda for that meeting has not yet been finalised by the Council Secretariat.
