MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

Mayor's Business

That this Council writes to the Taoiseach, Minister for Health, Members of Cabinet and designated leaders of each political grouping in the Dáil and Seanad expressing our unambiguous support for the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill and requesting that it be implemented in full as a matter of urgency, as one of a number of required measures to help tackle this Country's toxic and normalised relationship with alcohol, which causes so much tragedy and destruction in this Country and is directly responsible for one-eighth of the Nation's entire health expenditure.

REPORT:

If the Motion is passed a letter will issue to the relevant Minister and when a reply is received, it will be issued to the Members.
