Vol. 270 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Alcohol Spirit Content.

23.

asked the Minister for Health if, instead of agreeing to the motion of the Eastern Health Board regarding the low alcohol content in spirits, he will consider the introduction of the English "nip" measurement.

While the question of changing existing standard measurements is not a matter for my Department I think that the Deputy's suggestion would have little influence on the problem of alcoholism or excessive drinking.
