'Usual howls of protest' - what a patronising and flippant response from a state-funded organisation. The financial burden of these unnecessary labels (found nowhere else in the world) will also severely damage export prospects for Irish breweries, stymie growth, and affect jobs.
Clear articulation of why Ireland is progressing its alcohol health information labelling. Usual howls of protest from vested interests about these common sense measures. Time to put the consumer first and provide the facts not just myths on the bottle. irishtimes.com/opinion/lette…

That @theswanbar1661 ditched its O'Hara's lines but kept San Miguel and 5 Lamps when it introduced its own beers gives me the boke 🤮

Publicans of Ireland: any of your customers that would drink Beavertown beers (presumably they will distribute pales ales and IPAs) would probably be happy to drink a similar beer from a local independent brewery instead. #SupportLocal #DrinkIrish

Time to stop picking on EP for allowing multinationals to buy exclusivity, because many other festivals and gigs do exactly the same. We'd like to see provisions made to also allow some access to small local businesses, and I'll be on @LunchtimeLiveNT at 1:20pm to discuss this.
